A Seattle photographer is gaining a following on social media by showing off the city with a unique perspective.

A Seattle photographer is doing something a little different with his art, and it's starting to get a lot of attention on social media.

Rudy Willingham is showing some Seattle landmarks in a whole new light by taking paper cutouts and holding them up around the city. The photos create a unique perspective of the landmarks and ordinary objects we pass by every day.

Willingham stopped by Take 5 on Tuesday to talk about his project.

Q: Tell us about your project.

A: I take paper cut-outs, then hold them up in front of stuff around Seattle to create fun photo collages.

For example, I held a green light beam in front of the Space Needle to make it look like a UFO was abducting Jeff Bezos. Then I post them on Instagram and boom. I’m on live tv! I’m famous! My mom is so proud.

Q: What was your inspiration?

A: I’ve always had an interest in collage art, combining two different things to make something new. I pitched a similar idea to a client at the ad agency I work at, but they went with a different direction. So I decided to do it myself!

Q: Who are some of the people you look up to in your field and why?

A: It’s not really my field, but I love street artists like Banksy who incorporate their surroundings into their art.

They put a clever twist on stuff you see every day, and it makes you look at the world differently. I’m not a talented enough designer to do street art, so I stick with the paper cut-outs instead!

Q: Would you consider what you're doing to be innovative?

A: People are inventing robots and rocket ships that go to Mars, so I wouldn’t really consider this innovative. But I hope it’s creative and fun! Maybe it’ll distract people from the impending robot apocalypse.

Q: How can people help your cause?

A: I need a manicure now that I’m a hand model. So, if anyone has any gift cards that would be cool. Also follow me on Instagram!

And send me some free Taco Time! I’m hungry.

Q: Where is the best place to go for inspiration around here?

A: It’s kind of embarrassing, but I get most of my inspiration from the internet. There are so many people making incredible things in the world.
