The City of London is and remains one of the most mysterious places
in Europe. A place that is seen as cutthroat and full of testosterone.
Where deception and ego are the road to success, and individuals
are nothing more than kettle in an everlasting game of greed and
fear. But there is more to this place than that. It is a place of
incredible architectural beauty, over the last decade a series of “New
Towers of London” have sprung up accompanying the little French
castle built by William the Conqueror. Passing through this
breathtaking place makes on shiver down the spine, and makes one
admire of what gold and steel can build. The present series aims to
capture this underestimated beauty of this cold and professional
place. All pictures are multiple exposures taken on a Hasselblad 501c
using a Kodak Porta 400 film, digitally enhanced.

While making use of all medium of photography, Hartwig is a proponent of traditional film photography. He believes that removing the digital capabilities that modern photography has to offer, forces the artistic thought process to be more thorough and thought through. His body of work focuses to a great extent on experimental photography, where color and contrast dominate the photographic canvas.
