Cross pollinating the two approaches produces technically correct architectural scenes that also capture a moment of life. Structures and spaces are brought to life by the presence of a figure in these pictures, a dialogue is created between the buildings and the people passing through the public realm. I have coined the phrase Architectural Street Photography to describe this approach and am excited to develop it in further projects.This gallery takes images from a number of commissions and personal projects that share the architectural street photography approach that I think is particularly useful for architects and developers.

[cl_column width="2/3" css_style="padding-top:0px"][cl_column width="1/3" col_sticky="1"] On The Night Bus Originally titled ‘Through a Glass Darkly” this series of London commuters travelling home to the suburbs from the financial district of London, was shot over three winters. Long lenses were used to achieve an intimate portrait of the cities workers returning home, capturing them in a kind of no mans land between work and home where they are, perhaps for a brief period, themselves.The series was published in November 2017 by Hoxton Mini Press and exhibited at The Museum of London and the STREET.LIFE.PHOTOGRAPHY exhibition of seven decades of Street Photography in Hamburg.

[cl_column width="2/3" css_style="padding-top:0px"][cl_column width="1/3" col_sticky="1"] AUTOS This project brings together two of the most prominent aspects of life in the metropolis, advertising and the automobile. Shiny new vehicles passing through the city are illuminated by huge bright screens of Coca Cola red, Samsung Orange and Xbox green. The light on the bodywork reminiscent of the ‘liquid light’ effect of much car advertising photography. These are documentary pictures of the everyday that echo the aesthetic of the high end commercial photography studio.The automobile bathed in the light of advertising is an appropriate metaphor for the omnipresence of advertising in a world where we are all sold to constantly and every one of us is classified into consumer types. The 785.5m2 screen in Piccadilly Circus, the largest in Europe, claims to have an audience of ‘City Sophisticates’, ‘Lavish Lifestyles’ and ‘Career Climbers’. Share
