“A camera is a SAVE button for the mind’s eye.”
– Roger Kingston

One of the many benefits of living in the countryside is that it’s given me a newfound sense of appreciation for the adventure and aesthetics of urban life. From larger-than-life murals in eye popping colours through to the majesty and intricacy of towering architecture, modern and ancient. There’s a bewildering mix of materials surrounding you, each of which ages differently as well as interacting with light in their own unique way. Perhaps above all, the most intriguing aspect of city and street photography is that every design reflects human imagination and intent. Be it the grandiose nature of a 400-year-old cathedral or the strategic placement of a light installation as part of a Lumiere exhibition, there’s a sense of deliberation, of purpose. And of course, there’s then the interaction of each of these individual buildings and spaces with the rest of the environment in which they reside.
