Miscellaneous London
The final London post! We’ve covered a lot of ground throughout the city. Many locations warranted their own posts with the number of ways to shoot them. Today, I’m wrapping London with a few locations that either didn’t warrant a lot of versions or the weather was just too miserable to allow more images. […]
King's Cross Station | London
Still more great architecture in London with the King’s Cross Station. They also had an enormous selection of Turkish Delight, yum! Back to the architecture 😉 John McAslan + Partners (JMP) restored the old facade while building this new modern, tree-like structure in the Western Concourse, which is where I spent all my time photographing. […]
Wellcome Collection | London
This next location might have been the hardest to narrow down photos from. Anytime there’s a spiral staircase involved it gets difficult, lol. There are always so many options and they’re just fun to photograph. Again, color vs. B&W. Working my way from the bottom up. Enjoy! Midway… And from the top down. This […]
61 Oxford Street | London
A definite favorite stop in London was the flagship Zara store on Oxford & Soho. Its curvy, glassy facade makes for some really interesting reflections shots. Again, altering the white balance to achieve a blue hue, I’ll share the side-by-side comparison of color and black & white. The last three are a bit wider and […]
St Paul’s Cathedral, London
We’re pretty excited to be heading to London next spring for our first workshop here! So we thought we’d share one of our favorite discoveries while scouting earlier this year, St Paul’s Cathedral! We were really surprised by how much we loved exploring this space given we usually prefer photographing modern architecture. There are so […]
Fun with the London Eye
While checking out cityscape locations for the upcoming London workshop I decided to have a little fun playing around with intentional camera movement while photographing the London Eye. Mostly zooming my lens in or out during a long exposure to get these squiggly lines. The color shots are fun but couldn’t resist a couple black […]
Series Additions | Cloudscrapers
There are a few series I’m continuously working on, with Cloudscapers being one of them. Oftentimes these ideas are in the back of my mind and when I’m out shooting, either during workshops, on vacation or just a new building, if the right conditions present themselves I’m reminded of this work. While in London and […]
Paternoster Vents | London
Sculptures are often some of my favorite photographic subjects. The Paternoster Vents in London are both sculptural and functional…even better, right!? Heatherwick Studios is the architect behind the design of this cooling system that emerges from the underground electricity substation into a small, and new at the time, public square. Given the small space, they […]
Guy's Hospital | London
The tour of London continues. Today I’m sharing a few abstracts from Guy’s Hospital. As is common in London, the gray skies continued. Sunshine would definitely be nice on this space to give it more depth but the whiteout sky works well as negative space to showcase the curvy, mesh facade. If London looks like […]
Abstracting the US Embassy | London
An unexpected favorite in London was the US Embassy, and surprisingly, security didn’t have issues with photographing the building despite questioning. Definitely thought we’d get kicked out! Glad we didn’t because the light went from cloudy to sunny, which completely changed the way the building looked, as you’ll see as you scroll through the images. […]
