Panoramic images capture metropolises including Sydney, Las Vegas and Shanghai at night

The most famous cities around the world have been photographed an infinite number of times but they've never been captured quite like this.

Russian photography group AirPano have taken stunning nighttime panoramic and 360-degree aerial images of many well-known destinations.

So far, their work has included modern constructions in Singapore, Shanghai and Dubai as well as the traditional architecture in Lisbon, Moscow and Rome.

AirPano specialises in panoramic city photography. They've travelled to many cities around the world, including Sydney (pictured above)

The Russian group focuses on taking photographs of cities at night. Above, Las Vegas is captured at twilight, with its lights already bright

To take the images, the group uses a series of drones. They usually take off just outside of the area they want to photograph, like Shanghai (above)
