Some really nice photos in the article.

  Indeed!

  Spectacular use of color, sometimes in bars across the image despite the color sources not being the same. Photographers: do you see a lot of postprocessing here, or is it largely in camera?

    I think there is a decent amount of postprocessing, but I don't consider that a slight against the photos. Photography is an art that takes place equally behind the camera and in the darkroom (or Lightroom as the case may be). I see: * Very likely quite a bit of cropping going on. The framing on the subway fight is perfect, which I imagine would be hard to pull off in the time needed while the fight was occurring. * Also likely some perspective correction in post. The horizontal and vertical lines of the office building are damn near pixel accurate. Even with a good tilt-shift lens, I'd be surprised if that was accomplished entirely in-camera. Most lenses have some amount of distortion. * Color correction is common but hard to strictly demonstrate. But, in general, the color in all of these is too beautiful to be real to me. * Some HDR, but well done (which is rare). Look at the shot of the party. You can see some texture on the dark building facade, even though the illumination of that is likely several orders of magnitude darker than the windows. The texture looks sort of weird and squishy, which likely means that the brightness of the building was raised significantly in post, or possibly even a combination of two shots with different exposures. Wonderful work.

  Most of them are in my neighbourhood. One is only a 2 minute walk away but I barely recognise it from the stylisation. I’ll never cease to be amazed at how the camera can create a narrative.
