This stunning collection of images show Hull and the East Riding as you have never seen it before.
The images have been shot using infrared photography, creating a unique, distinguished look to them.
The brain-child behind the collection is Hull born Christopher Story who began photographing the area two years ago.
An artist by trade, Christopher, 50, has always been fascinated by infrared photography and particularly enjoys taking pictures of churches and castles.
Take a look at the video below to view the images.
Christopher said: "For those that don't know what infrared is its non-visible light. It's a spectrum which is just outside our perception and my camera has been converted to read infrared.
"Usually the foliage in pictures will go white and the sky will go black. It's often known as the paranormal wavelength."

His biggest inspiration Simon Marsden, who is best known for his work taking black and white photos of haunted houses all over Europe.
Like Simon, Christopher is also a fan of all things paranormal and regularly goes on ghost hunts.
Christopher said: "I have a passion for photographing stately homes, churches and castles - predominantly ones that are haunted.
"I really do love churches because they're very peaceful places to be. People think they're very creepy but they're not really."
Christopher, who now lives in Preston, used to work as a guitar teacher in Hull city centre and says that the place will always have a place in his heart.
"Spurn point is my absolute favourite place in the whole world, I just love it."
From his experiences photographing the area, Christopher has found that the East Riding is home to a wealth of churches and old priories. He says that most people are completely unaware of them, he even plans to create a book to show them off.
"I don't think many people know about all of these places, so I'd love to create something that will show them off.
"I've been talking to lots of local vicars about it and they'd love to see it happen."
But it's not just buildings that Christopher likes to photograph. Most recently, he has taken some aerial pictures of the East Riding, including a particularly impressive shot of Spurn Point, Hull which was shot from his friend's propeller plane.
He said: "I only went up in a plane a couple of weeks ago and I'm absolutely petrified of flying.
"To get a good shot you have to open a small window because you don't want to get any reflection.
"It was absolutely freezing but it was worth it even though we had to circle it a couple of times."
Christopher has also taken aerial view pictures of Hull and Hedon.
