MOON ART

From shooting hoops to performing kick ups, a boy has a ball with the moon. Captured in stark silhouette, the boy performs a series of lunar tricks against the sky. The creative images were created by self-taught Albanian photographer Adrian Limani, 22. 'I live in a place where you can't do much, but my camera and the internet have helped me to break out and get noticed,' says student Adrian. 'I don't need a lot to create these photographs. All I need is my imagination, my brother and, of course, my camera.
