I know that the city down below is New York, but what skyscraper is being built?
Are the photos faked in any way?
Just curious.

I know very little about them, but the most famous one is called Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, and it was taken in the early 1930s, I believe, by Charles C Ebbets, although he wasn't credited until relatively recently. I've been told before that the building under construction was the Rockefeller Center, although I'm not sure about that. As it's so famous, I'm sure there'll be loads of information in google and the like. As for it being fake, I'm not sure - something tells me it isn't.

Lewis Hine did the most famous shots of men building the Empire State Bldg. This work was published in 1932, called "Men at Work.

Check biographies of Margaret Bourke-White or perhaps Henri Cartier-Bresson.
