Two projects that I photographed for StudioFractal have been paired for an article in Arc Magazine, ‘St Helen’s Square’ and ‘London Wall Place’ are both in the heart of the City of London and represent key pedestrian routes and relaxation areas for city workers.

October’s Lighting ‘Design File’ ran a piece on the Gasholders focusing on the changing qualities of light within the main atria. Their form is based around the concept of a clock mechanism with the building acting as a timepiece.  The lighting (by Speirs+Major) is fully integrated within the architecture (by Wilkinson Eyre) and fundamental to the concept.

I am really pleased to have been shortlisted for the Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Awards 2018.  One of the photographs of ‘The Vortex’ entrance area of the Bloomberg HQ by Foster & Partners has been included in the Interiors category.

It has been a pleasure to photograph The Royal Academy of Arts for iGuzzini over the course of the last year. The gallery lighting has been updated to use tuneable white LED which allows the work and character of each exhibition to be illuminated to stunning effect.  Several visits have been made to exhibitions in order to show the capabilities of the new lighting, images below show Jasper Johns ‘Something Resembling Truth’, Charles I: King and Collector, the Summer Exhibition 2018 and the new ‘Permanent Collection’ / ‘Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler’ galleries.

February 2018 feature in Arc magazine on the T5 first class access area that I photographed for architects Pascall & Watson and lighting designers Studio Fractal.

One of the images I made of the Temple of Mithras (now open to the public in the basement of the new Bloomberg London HQ) was published in an article by Jeremy Melvin in the Architectural Review.

AJ ran a big building study feature on Foster + Partner’s new Bloomberg HQ in the city of London featuring a number of images that I made as part of my commission to photograph the building on behalf of Bloomberg.  More of the project can be seen here.

FX Magazine ran a nice feature on the Lansdowne Club which I photographed for Studio Fractal and Jestico+Whiles, the project involved refurbishment and modernisation of the Art Deco Dining Room and Cocktail Bar.  A selection of project photography can also be seen here.

November 2015 was the tenth anniversary of the publication of ‘Made of Light’. To celebrate this, Mark Major and Keith Bradshaw of Speirs + Major have collaborated with renowned architectural lighting photographer and filmmaker James Newton to create twelve short, abstract videos that echo the original themes of the project: Source, Contrast, Surface, Colour, Movement, Function, Form, Space, Boundary, Scale, Image and Magic. Made of Light Too – A Closer Look at Light employs digital media through an online presence to help reach a wider audience than the original project. In this way it becomes an extension of the original ideal to inspire, delight and communicate the wonder of light.

Mondo Arc has featured Gasholder No 8 which I photographed for Speirs+Major. Part of the new Kings Cross development the structure is now a public park set next to the canal, elegant and dynamic lighting makes it well worth a visit after dark too.

Lighting Magazine has a big feature on the Guinness Storehouse project in Dublin which I photographed for Michael Grubb Studio. One of the most visited tourist attractions in the UK the former brewery storehouse is now a museum dedicated to the Guinness brand and its many iconic images.

‘Cities Underneath Cities’ is a personal project I have been working on for the last couple of years whilst visiting Italian cities.  Places visited include Naples (above), Florence, Pisa, Palermo (below), Bologna, Ferrara and Venice.  The project is now featured on documentary platform a visual archive of Italian photography projects and can be seen here.
