Moon Games by Laurent Laveder

Every now and then I’ll see a friend on holiday taking these kid of pictures with the moon or the sun. French landscape astrophotographer and astronomy journalist Laurent Laveder took things a little bit further by creating a series of images that he calles ‘Moon Games’.

In these stunning photographs, Laveder turns the moon in to a variety of objects to be played with. Moon Games has also been published as a small book in France:

“We have asked 19 authors to choose a picture each among a selection of photos. Then they had to write a short text in the style they wanted. Finally, Sabine (my grilfriend with who I conceive these Moon games, and the woman in the pictures), who is a graphic artist, has transformed the texts to calligrams. The different profiles of each author have leaded to a great variety for each picture, sometime funny, touching, poetic, sensual, etc.”
