New York

Product Description

New York is probably the most photographed city in the world It is hard to resist the fascination for the Big Apple & many have tried to visually capture the singularly unique " Empire State of Mind" It&s not just the classic landmarks that belong to an emotional portrait of the metropolis but also the bustling life in the urban canyons of Manhattan & its neighborhoods & this is why Bernhard Hartmann never approaches New York City from just one perspective He employs multiple angles brilliant studies that make the sculptural details of architectural icons both old & new come alive alongside snapshots of ephemeral shadowy pedestrians hurrying by on rain-soaked asphalt illuminated by neon sign reflections Hartmann is especially taken with the city&s lights as his black-&-white photos twinkle in an almost magical way His colour photographs possess a near hypnotic quality that make the nighttime neon-lit streets feel like an homage to decades past & his aerial photos almost tangibly pull you into the scene Despite the technical refinement & exquisite detail of Hartmann&s photos their unequalled atmospheric intensity is what truly makes them special he combines the latest photographic techniques with the glamour of historic pictures The result is a dazzling contemporary portrait of the most amazing city in the world one that-like your own first visit to New York-you will never forget
