Summary

Karsten Staiger was at the forefront of the digital revolution that emerged in the 1990s. Since then he has been a pioneer in utilizing cutting-edge camera technology to create elegant images in extremely high resolution. Staiger's deep understanding of complex lighting and technology coupled with his fascination with aerial views eventually led him to the New York City skyline. From New York's highest rooftops, balconies, penthouses and private planes, Staiger chases the fleeting instants that result in the most exciting shots – a perfect balance between the cityscape below and the sky above.
