Gasholders in Lighting 10.2018

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.

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.

Made of Light Too website launched 01.2017

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.
