National Museum of Qatar
Monumental in scale, The National Museum of Qatar is an example of the epic urban statement that these cities use to put themselves on the global map.
Not yet complete, it’s captured here unpolished and exposed. A bare structure of ambition, extravagance & innovation carving its own space into the city backdrop.
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.
