Check out the work of Andreas Gursky.  He comes out of the Becher school of photography and approaches his subject matter with a dispassionate method of cataloging.  His work is massively large scale and creates a sense of disorientation to the viewer because of the elevated perspective.  This vantage point creates a disassociation or alienation of the viewer from the subject matter.

Gursky is a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany.

His work is internationally recognized and is in the collection of MoMa, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Tate Modern to name a few.
