Franco Fontana, a famous
Italian photographer known for
his landscapes. I like the use of
using few intense colours in
these two images and how
simple they are. 35mm

invisible."

Michael Wolf focuses on patterns and
structures in his urban landscapes
which he shot mainly in Paris and Hong
Kong. The main features of the two
images show the vertical lines of
buildings but I like the difference
between the lighting, ie day and
night-time shots. 4X5 Film camera. "I
produce some very good work at 'New
York' magazine."
Image 2: Night #1 2004.
