Things I've done since January

I had another little trip to the beautiful city of Sheffield and tried taking the multiple-viewpoint panorama idea to the next level. This time I think I've found the limit of how wide I want to go with it.

I think the hyper-reality of it goes a little too far at this width, and the different viewpoints become harder to hide in the tarmac. I like the fact that you're seeing the building in a way that is impossible in reality, but I prefer the subtler effect in the previous attempts. Now it's time to find some more candidate buildings.

This was exciting to discover: I had no idea that Sheffield had its own mini Seagram building aka. the Arts Tower, part of Sheffield University. It's a good example of the way that, very often, the best buildings photograph really well in flat light conditions. I'm looking forward to going back and shooting it again when I've got a bit more time.

I shot the reception area of a new office development in the centre of Manchester, for Autex Acoustics. They installed the lattices you can see hanging in the booths.

And a rather beautiful house remodel in Chorlton for Paula Butterfield Architects.

Then at Easter, after a couple of false starts, I got down to Bath to shoot a new sports building at Prior Park College for Buttress Architects. It has a sports hall, a jaw-droppingly well appointed gym, and it doubles as a cricket pavilion.
