Some people can't get enough of having their photos taken. Photographer Mikaël Theimer's girlfriend is the opposite. She's extremely camera shy, so it's difficult for Theimer to get any photo of her smiling and looking into his camera.
That doesn't stop Theimer from trying though, and over time an unusual photo project was born.
If you want to get a great candid engagement shot, you have to be good at hiding. But how far would you go to get a great angle of a private engagement at a park without being seen? Canadian photographer Chance Faulkner was willing to go further than most... right into a tiny trashcan under a nearby tree.
In his photo series The Square, Korean artist Seokmin Ko throws a small glitch into reality. In every photo, someone can be seen holding a mirror that obscures everything but their hands wrapped around the edges, in a couple of cases blending them into the surroundings so well that it's hard to see were they are.
