Incredibly Breathtaking Global Nightscapes

Seoul, South Korea, 2011

It’s not often that we come across a well-traveled photographer that has taken so many spectacular shots of different cityscapes. What’s even more impressive is that Polish-born Martin Stavars was born in 1981. Each of his shots are remarkably breathtaking, as he makes each city shine and puts all the spotlight on their unique, dynamic personalities.

“Lately, my interests widened to cityscapes, where I pursue qualities characteristic to nature – harmony and peace,” explains Stavars. “As it is getting harder to find traits like that in our more and more hectic world, while taking pictures in the biggest European cities I had to develop the most important virtue of a photographer – patience. That is one of the reasons why there are usually no people (or only their silhouettes) on most of my photographs.

“Whereas taking pictures with the main focus on a person involves emotions that are relatively easy to define, depicting an empty street or portraying pulsing nature usually requires qualitatively different feelings that have to fill in for the missing elements, thus making such photograph something more than a simple document.”
