These are the perfectly timed images of New Yorkers who unknowingly created funny picture opportunities for a street photographer.

From a man who looks like he's being kicked in the head by a model on a poster to a pigeon following a 'this way' sign, the funny series of snaps capture unsuspecting pedestrians who happened to be in the right place, at the right time.

Shot by Bryan Stockley, 37, the amusing and sometimes ironic photographs feature strangers and tourists on the streets of The Big Apple.

His spontaneous photo project began as a hobby when he first moved to the city from Texas in 2013.

He now spends all his spare time people watching, looking out for his next funny photo opportunity.

Speaking about his work, Bryan said: "I like walking around exploring cities.

“When I first moved to New York, I didn't have much money, so walking around taking photos was a free and entertaining way to kill time on the weekends.

"When taking pictures, I tend to gravitate towards humour, irony, street art, signs, t-shirts with stupid saying.

"People often ask if my photos are staged but I've never staged a photo or asked permission for one.

"The majority are spontaneous, but occasionally I'll hang out on a street corner or something to see if anything interesting develops.”

Bryan takes most of the photographs on his mobile phone.
