The Light of New York (City Lights)
The Light of New York (City Lights)
Description
The city's greatest landmarks and views are captured here like never before, as buildings, bridges, completely deserted streets, trees, and empty flights of stairs take on a poetic, ethereal quality. At dawn, the streets of New York resonate with a life of its own: muted, subdued, and mysterious. Much more than a hymn, this photographic gem is a moving homage to the world's greatest city, seen as a virtuoso sculptor's masterpiece. Award-winning photographer Jean-Michel Berts captures the city that never sleeps in moments of dream-like serenity.
Despite a promising scientific career, Jean-Michel Berts chose a different path - to become a photographer. After a succesful beginning, Jean Michel decided to devote himself to still life photography.. With his first Rolleiflex camera, he became sensitive to the effects of light.Since the eighties, thanks to Daniel Podva, he has worked as a still life photographer for several well-known cosmetics
