Slate: See if you can find the camouflaged German sniper pointing a gun directly at you
Simon Menner contacted the German army in 2010 to see whether it would be interested in helping him create images in which members of the army are hidden, or, "Camouflage," like the title of his series. Turns out they were, and the images ended up going viral.
Menner arranged two separate shoots, one in a "boring" forest in northern Germany with soldiers who were young and inexperienced. The second shoot, in the German Alps, was done with a group of elite soldiers.
"I found it quite interesting to work with soldiers who had been ordered to follow my instructions," Menner wrote via email. "I tried to be as respectful to them as possible, but nothing of what I told them was questioned in any way."
