City+
According to the UN, sometime in 2007 was the urban tipping point; with population explosion and economic migration, more than half of the global population now live in urban rather than rural settings.
Both thrilling and frightening, massive growth and development of cities is one of the global features of our time.
Cities accommodate and perpetuate a global culture, but it is embedded within local traditions and features. Regional responses to urban challenges have led to a fascinating diversity of cities. Each reflecting a different society, history and geography.
The wide sweeping views of these cityscapes gather detail and texture, revelling in the visual diversity of these massive, ever-changing habitats.
For my commercial work I have photographed many high profile construction projects around the world. These include:
1 World Trade Centre, NY / The National Museum of Qatar, Doha / BBC Broadcasting House, London / BBC Media City, Manchester / Hoglands, Grade 1 listed restoration of Henry Moores former home & etching studio.
