A shocking pink sports car in front of a pastel pink house, a vibrant turquoise house with wooden shutters, and a tiny bright yellow home are shown off in a photo project showing off the Big Easy's bohemian neighborhoods.

Other incredible images include a tattered truck in front of a well-presented property and an eye-catching blue and red house in stark contrast to an orange American motorcar.

The photos were captured by Michael J. Dalle-Molle, 27, who is hoping to offer a unique take on the beauty of the Louisiana city.

He has collated his pictures on Instagram after starting the project in 2016.

'My photographs are not meant to be viewed individually, which is one of the reasons Instagram has worked so well as the vehicle for this project,' explained Michael.

'These photographs, one after the other, are intended to be viewed in multiples so the viewer can see how the colours, shapes, lines, forms, and details of our architecture - across all neighborhoods, rich and poor - ties together to create a truly unique style.

'I absolutely love shooting architecture and houses, the more colorful the better. There is something about New Orleans' homes that speaks to me in a deep way.' 

He went on: 'This project has become a storybook of sorts, showing people the unique beauty of New Orleans' architecture at eye level - the way I see it.

'I want the message of my project to be different for everyone that gets pleasure out of these photographs.

'For some it is the colors, for others it is the details in craftsmanship... For me, it is just about capturing that perfect moment that shows the world how beautifully we live down here.'
