Andreas Gursky is a German photographer based in Leipzig. Most of all, he likes to shoot large-scale panoramic photos from angles that are usually out of reach. And he does it very well. In 2011, at Christie's, his photograph "Rhine II" was sold for a record $4.3 million, becoming at that time the most expensive photograph in the history of auctions.
