These photo's were taken at work, mainly between 2014 and 2020.

New developments in the City, especially around St Pauls, Paternoster Square and the Millennium Bridge have been designed with open areas and road junctions. These spaces allow the light to fall and create an interesting background for street photographs. Modern architecture often uses large glass surfaces which create intense, synthetic lighting. 

I'm always drawn to interesting lighting conditions and this was the main reason for starting the project. It shows the work environment for thousands of people who occupied the City for work during this time, an environment that would abruptly change in May 2020.
