On his Instagram account, Sullivan has posted numerous pictures of celebrities in iconic cities> The older photographs are matched up with the precise location in present day. In Changing Cities, Sullivan uses famous black and white pictures which he superimposes over a colored contemporary shot of the same location.
In Changing Cities, the juxtaposition between the historic photographs and the present day are made more clear by contrasting black and white versus colored imagery. Some of the notable pictures collaged by Sullivan include Bob Dylan walking down a tree-lined Central Park and the Rolling Stones taking a stroll down Covent Garden in London.
