A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This award-winning pictorial tribute to the world s most vertical city offers a unique introduction to New York s spectacular architecture. Using a vintage panoramic camera tilted ninety degrees, Hamann spent nearly five yerars painstakingly setting up shot after shot, often finding himself balancing precariously out a window ledge, patiently waiting for the perfect lighting conditions. His stark black and white compositions lend these photographs a dramatic, often dreamlike quality, and offer unique reinterpretations of the world s most recognizable cityscapes. The result is an original and astonishing array of images accompanied by quotations from some of the city s most ardent and well-known fans that capture New York s towering presence in a way no other photographer ever has.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Born in Germany, Horst Hamann has travelled and worked extensively in the United States, specifically in New York, where his enthusiasm and knowledge of the city has created a great demand for his work. The recipient of numerous awards, including the Kodak Photobook Award, he has travelled to more than sixty countries; for the past decade he has concentrated on panoramic photography.
