Nightscapes: Jakob Wagner

I found some photography on Behance by Jakob Wagner showing a number of cities at night.



My favourite aspect of this image is the combination of the blue and red lights from the traffic and the red and blue signs on the buildings.


I like the use of long exposure in this image to illustrate the volume of traffic that's constantly travelling through Shanghai - capturing the scene of a city in flux.  

I feel that the use of the puddle to reflect the skyline in this image is really creative. In addition to this, I like the juxtaposition of the derelict outskirts of the city and the massive Shanghai skyline. 

Again, the use of long exposure photography here illustrates energy and movement that occurs in a city. I also like how the lights from both sets of traffic symbolises how they're all going in opposing directions.
