A fraction of a second earlier or later and every one of these would be an ordinary picture. Some took weeks of waiting. Some were pure accident. All of them landed on the one frame that mattered.
A Saudi Driver Takes A Selfie On Two Wheels
Sidewall skiing is exactly what it sounds like: driving a car balanced on two wheels while it continues down the road. It emerged in Saudi Arabia as a street subculture, and it is both extraordinarily dangerous and extremely illegal. This photograph catches a driver mid manoeuvre, casually holding up a phone for a selfie while the vehicle rides tilted on its side. The composition works because of how relaxed everyone in the frame appears, as though this were an ordinary commute. Whatever you think of the practice, the photographer was in the right place with the right shutter speed, and the result is genuinely arresting.
