Some of his previous tourist snaps include: transform London’s Big Ben into a giant wristwatch, Paris’s Arc de Triomph into a Lego man, and the London Eye into a bicycle. The city’s history usually influences his paper design, each snap revealing a quirky insight or fact about the location.

Rich finds that his projects gets him into a lot of unusual and interesting situations, his latest flight to Paris brought with it an eventful day in the capital. All in one day he helped a cyclist after being hit by a car, was caught up in a marriage proposal and ended up in the background of a film being shot.
