STAIRWAY obsessed photographers have captured psychedelic shots that will mesmerise you. Strikingly similar to a light bulb, swirling like a raspberry ripple or twisted like a vortex, you could be forgiven into not realising these are in fact the view from the bottom of a selection of staircases. Photographer Joerg Riehm, 43, decided to capture the design of these urban environments through the art of photography in Germany. 'I try to show the beauty, the design and geometry of urban places, where thousands of people usually just rush through lacking the time to capture the admirable surroundings,' said Joerg
