entry description
I've been photographing the contrast between old and new in Shanghai over the last couple of years and took this image on a recent trip. Shot on the Pudong side high up in a hotel, it embodies new, futuristic, Shanghai, in a city that is famous its skylines and spectacular views.about the photographer
I'm a photographer from the UK, currently living in Australia after a pretty nomadic few years. I shoot both editorial and commercially, and over the last few years my personal work has focused on long term stories in Rio, Tokyo, Shanghai and Burma. For those stories I tend to start shooting what I find most visually striking about a place and obsessively fine tune the idea as I go along. That could be an aspect of the everyday which is deeply ingrained in a culture, like football in Rio de Janeiro's favelas. Or some place within a place that just intrigues me, as was the case with Electric Dreams in Tokyo.back to gallery
