MORGAN SILK

Morgan Silk knows how to take photos and he also knows how to road trip. His site flicks from the humble towns around Tasmania to immense monuments in Mongolia and tiered Philippine villages in a way that suggests he's sure where he's going.

As for the materials he uses? Keys. What else.

STARGAZING WITH BRIAN COX
