Photo artists Christian Höhn (*1968) and Wolfgang Reichmann (*1962) took pictures of some of the planet's mega-cities.
Wolfgang Reichmann created an impressive panorama image of New York at night. Taken from the balcony of the New York atelier of the Austrian Republic, he combined 30 negatives to produce a panoramic overview of the metropolis.
In the meantime, Christian Höhn photographed Chinese mega-cities with over ten million inhabitants. Many of his pictures were taken at night. The uninhibited, sprawling growth of these gigantic cities is both impressive and scary.
