Hong Kong architecture photography

Incredible Hong Kong architecture photography that makes the HK look surreal!

Photographer Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze captured Hong Kong’s architecture  in his Vertical Horizon Hong Kong architecture photography project. He’s made it into an 80-page book of photos from his 2012. The 26-year-old French photographer captures the city’s skyscrapers from vertical angles – all looking up. So cool!
