The meat cleaver
The iconic diamond-patterned facade of the Bank of China
Tower reaches for the stars among the glitzy lights of Hong
Kong’s central business district. At 367m high, it is the city’s
fourth tallest skyscraper. The tower has been nicknamed
‘One Knife’, as some people think its profile from certain HONG
KONG
angles resembles a meat cleaver. Using a tilt-shift lens,
the photographer was able to keep the building in sharp
focus and blur the surroundings.
