New York City
From glowing Midtown nights and iconic bridges to harbour views, historic landmarks and quiet moments in Central Park, this gallery presents New York through a carefully selected series of photographs. Created by Norwegian landscape and travel photographer Svein Magne Tunli, the project captures the city’s scale, atmosphere and visual contrasts in a calm and timeless way.
