With New York Vertical, Horst Hamann turned the concept of panoramic photography, quite literally, on its head, offering breathtaking images of Manhattan that echo the citys towering presence. But New York is not the only place that begs us to crane our necks in awe, or look down in dizzying wonder. In this work, Hamann gives us even more startling glimpses of vertical views from around the world. From London to Paris, Frankfurt to Boston and San Francisco to Hong Kong top-to-bottom skyscrapers create the unique drama of each setting. Hamanns photographs are panoramic close-ups, showing us in breathtaking detail the contours and lines of every building. Vertical View reveals the development of Hamanns technique and in so doing shows us a new way of seeing. Text in English, German and French.

These portraits of New Yorkers are remarkable for their diversity, but also for the common humanity that binds them all. Photographer Horst Hamann asked New Yorkers - an adventurous but generally skeptical bunch - to come off the street and be photographed with their eyes closed. The resulting work is a profile of human characteristics and emotions. We see anxiety in some photographs, and bravura in others. Because their eyes are closed - as if dreaming - we somehow get closer to their true nature, and by extension, to our own. Horst Hamann has become famous during the last twenty years for his panoramic photography. His internationally acclaimed and widely exhibited photographs of New York and Paris have been published by teNeues in the best-selling New York Vertical and Paris Vertical. Born in Germany, he is now based in New York. Text in English and German

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.

In just a few short years, Horst Hamann has risen to the forefront of artists whose unique vision of New York is as monumental and impressive as the city itself. Critics everywhere applauded his wildly successful, New York Vertical, hailing it as a standout, (New York Post) and the perfect book for anyone who has ever stood spellbound on a Midtown street corner (Forbes). Now Hamann once again pays homage to his adopted city in this collection of new photographs that capture not only New York`s towering magnificence, but also its breadth and promise. In beautifully composed panoramas, portraits and streetscapes that are at once astonishing and intimate, Hamann shows us New York through the eyes of a lover, visitor, friend and adversary. We see the city`s stark angles and gentle shadows; its majestic forests of pillars and skyscrapers; its graceful curves, arches, and lines; the welcoming embrace of its interior spaces and its alienating walls of steel and concrete.

In order to reflect the character of Paris appropriately in my vertical photography. I had to question and re-sensitize familiar habits in how I look at things. The visual challenge was not the search for the top, the vanishing points in the sky, but the inconspicuous, the details at eye level. Award-winning photographer Horst Hamanns vertical reconnaissance trips through the worlds most beautiful and romantic city have yielded an astonishing array of images in this stunning pictorial tribute to Paris. Sensitized to vertical perspectives since publishing his best-selling New York Vertical and equipped with a new panoramic camera, he painstakingly set up shot after shot, often finding himself precariously balanced off Notre Dames gargoyles, the balconies of the Pompidou Center, even the Eiffel Tower. His stark black and white compositions offer unique vertical reinterpretations of some of Europes most recognizable cityscapes. Text in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish
