Overview
This pictorial tribute to one of the world's most beautiful and romantic cities offers a unique introduction to the "City of Light". Award-winning photographer Horst Hamann used a panoramic camera to painstakingly set up shot after shot, often finding himself precariously balanced off Notre Dame's gargoyles, the balconies of the Pompidou Center-even the Eiffel Tower. His efforts have produced an astonishing array of images, stark black and white compositions that lend these photographs a dramatic, often dreamlike quality, and offer unique, vertical reinterpretations of some of Europe's most recognizable cityscapes.Horst Hamann has concentrated on panoramic photography for the last twenty years. His internationally acclaimed and widely exhibited photographs of New York have been published in the best-selling New York Vertical (teNeues) and, more recently, in One Night on Broadway. Born in Germany, he is now based in New York.
