The photos depict a different perspective of some of your favorite superheroes, like Superman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman. Usually, you see the comic characters in heroic situations or a busy cityscape, but in this series they are isolated and look as if they are reflecting on their lives.

Overall, the series shows the heroes in a state of freedom with zero duties to fulfil and zero lives to save -- just their own.
