Authentic, vivid, raw travel photography that captures the essence of a place without sugarcoating it is more difficult to come by than you might think, but Roger Stonehouse has mastered the art.

His photos--including his very popular 'Punk and Monk' image of a young monk and his friend (possibly brother) smoking next to him and wearing an AC/DC shirt--capture something of the essence of a place. You feel like you're there, off the beaten path, exploring all sides of the city you're visiting.

Here are 10 fantastic examples of great travel photography hand-picked off of Roger's profile, all available to license through the 500px Marketplace:

The great thing about Roger's profile is the breadth of work--from colorful Steve McCurry-esque images, to black and white street shots that would impress any street photographer.
