For over 20 years, I’ve photographed New York City from its rooftops.
My work explores the city’s architecture, light, and quiet moments above the noise.

“Having lived in New York City for many decades, I have never envisioned it from above - I experienced it only from within. Karsten has a point of view of New York City - that to my knowledge - no one else had before him! Karsten is a photographer who is not afraid of the 'Edge', because he has been on the 'Edge' so many times.”
Robert Redford
