Vertical Hong Kong

To continue the Hong Kong building photostories, French photographer Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze captures the city by looking directly up.

The “Vertical Horizon” project was shot between 2009 and 2012 and is now a picture book for you to enjoy in your own home. A dozen of them are currently being displayed in Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui district as part of Le French May cultural festival.



The photos were taken from the ground at eye level, a height that reinforces the viewer’s feeling of immersion and verticality.

Hong Kong is famed for its skyline, but graphic artist and photographer Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze takes viewers on a different visual journey

I particularly enjoy the reflections of buildings on buildings creating an even more enclosed mirror world.
