Many of the city-centric photography projects we've seen of late focus on the frenetic energy that breathe life into the world's biggest cities. This vitality is everywhere -- from the streets, to the busy people, to the culture, and the architecture.

Aristotle Roufanis, meanwhile, wanted to show us a rather despondent face of the urban jungle in a series called "Alone Together. "

In his ongoing project, the Greek-born, London-based visual artist thought of taking a deeper look at the loneliness of cities around the world amidst the blue hour. He photographed some of the world's biggest and most popular cities in such a way that only the tiny lights from apartment windows are visible. With this minimalist approach, the cities have retained anonymity in some of the photographs. Countless people call the vast urban sprawls their home, but Aristotle has observed that they hardly connect with each other. . thephoblographer.com
