“What I See vs. What I Take” showcases the unique way photographers perceive the world. Kristina Makeeva, known for her stunning and often fantastical images, for the first time reveals what these magical locations look like when zoomed out.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Kristina shared that she finds it fascinating how, from a certain angle, ordinary places can transform into something magical. “In this way, I wanted to show how important it is to be able to see, not just look. To examine details. To admire. And often the result of such an experience is very unexpected.”

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the post and uncover the magic behind the frame.

    I didn’t realize they were all butterflies until I saw the what I take picture.

    For me the what I see picture is much harder to visually distinguish than the what I take picture, so I prefer it.

    Some of these photos are great; some of these photos are not the same picture, and some of these photos should be called, "What I see, what I photoshop"

    Uh....no. Left is the photo you took of the same place you saw in a professional ad or something. Different time of day, girl is standing on the incline, different angle, on and on. NO.

    No, they're standing in the water in the pic on the left, standing on the shore in the other. TWO. COMPLETELY. DIFFERENT. PHOTOS.
