With its scenic surroundings of valleys and mountains, Machu Picchu is one of the world's most recognisable and continually breathtaking destinations.

This ancient city was rediscovered in 1911 by the historian Hiram Bingham, with countless photographers since making the journey to shoot its amazing architecture and stone alleys, attempting to capture a glimpse of the rich history which is still evident in the remains.

Havana, Cuba

This site is one that is perhaps more noteworthy for its culture and streetlife than for any one visual element.

There are brightly coloured buildings and limitless alleys to explore and photograph, but much of Havana’s charm is reliant on its people and their food and music that can be found on every street.
