Empire Rising

New York, New YorkIn the heart of New York, the Empire State Building stands as a beacon of architectural brilliance. The aim was to capture this icon, not in its usual vibrant glory, but in a way that peeled back its layers to its very soul. The challenge was to present the building in a new form, stripping it down, revealing a different kind of beauty. This meant focusing on the raw, structural elements. The perspective was from a distance, allowing to frame it against the vast canvas of the city’s skyline. From this vantage point, the building was silent, yet still a powerful presence. A symbol of New York’s enduring spirit, its towering form, stood out against the backdrop of the city – a muted symphony of urban life. This photograph was an exploration of the Empire State Building's character. Its timelessness stands as an architectural marvel and as a guardian of the city's stories and dreams. 45 Artist Proof / 450 Limited Edition
