More about the Guangzhou China Travel Photography
Where most skyscrapers bear ‘male’ features; being introvert, strong, straight,
rectangular, and based on repetition, the architects Mark Hemel and Barbara Kuit
wanted to create a ‘female’ tower, being complex, transparent, curvy and
gracious and sexy. Their aim was to design a free-form tower with a rich and
human-like identity that would represent Guangzhou as a dynamic and exciting
city.” The result is a tower, very slender and tall, that bears similarities
with the figure of a female, the very reason that earned it the nickname:
‘super-model‘.
All pictures on this page were taken with the
Nikon D700digital SLR.
A few different SLR lenses were used to get the best shot in each specific
situation. Most of the photos on this Guangzhou, Mainland China page were
taken with the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8lens.
