Bored Tourists: a colourful, ironic look at tourists on holiday, documenting their odd behaviour
Ever had a holiday that wasn't your cup of tea? Bored Tourists is a photo series and new book that explores the phenomenon of travelling to a foreign country with every intention of being inspired by it, only to be left feeling bemused, bored or half asleep.

What began as a chance visit to Barcelona Cathedral led British photographer Laurence Stephens to spend the next three summers exploring the cultural landscapes of Spain and Portugal. From stuffy museums to breathtaking skylines, with camera in hand, he went in search of the not-so-elusive bored tourist. Shot in a square format as a subtle nod to our current "Instagram generation", these playful images present an unforgiving vision of the tourist experience.
