After shooting cities all around the globe for the past 15 years, I managed to publish seven coffee table books featuring cities like Paris, Venice, Los Angeles, and New York.

The series is based on a simple idea: what would it look like if darkness overtook our world, and only a single source of light were present to pierce the darkness?
