The night shots by Axel Hütte present empty riverside promenades dotted with lanterns, illuminated office buildings, landscapes immersed in darkness with a single light at the horizon, and one sunset showing the last glow in the blackness of the night.

Renowned for his huge panoramic landscape photographs, Axel Hütte collected his most famous pictures from five continents for this, his fifth book.

Axel Hütte (b. 1951) presents his tranquil, romantic landscape panoramas, created in recent years during his photographic expeditions to Portugal, Spain, France, and Greece, as well as in Switzerland and Germany.

Since his first photographs Axel Hüttes work has focused on the confrontation of city and country. He demonstrates the impact of urban architecture on the land.

A subtle reference to the myth of Narcissus, Hütte’s new series presents bewildering water surface reflections that play with perceptual puzzlement and sensual confusion.

The North has always held special fascination to artists: stark, inhospitable landscapes; tundras, moors and glaciers; rocks and ice; silence and solitude.
