I love to shoot Modern and classic buildings, especially around major cities. Some buildings look better in B&W and some look better in colour in colour, here is a selection of my recent work.

Lichtenstein Metropolis

I captured this reflection and see through in the entrance to the tube line at Liverpool St. I love the way the patterned glass creates bay-day dot effect similar to Roy Lichtensteins graphic work, crossed with a scene from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. One of my all time favourite shots.

Ey Tower London

One of my favourite buildings to shoot, it's not very tall but the sharp angles made for a great shot. A bit of post to make the boring sky a little more interesting.
Leica D-Lux 8, 18.6mm, F8, 1/1,600th Sec.

Walkie Talkie

One of the city's most iconic buildings, the area has its own micro-climate due the funnelling effect on the buildings shape.
Ricoh GR IIIx F6.3, 1/800th Sec.

The Scalpel and Lloyds of London

One of the newer towers in the city the scalpel is a wonderful subject. I tried something a little different here to capture the order amongst the chaos.
