Marco Luccio

“In this series of night images I explore my ongoing interest in the built environment and the use of chiaroscuro, from a variety of perspectives, often from high above the city such as in City Lights. In New York, Gotham City long, deep shadows swallowed large areas of the city, buildings rise above the shadows...From this vantage point, New York resembled the comic version of itself.”
