Collection bio

This collection is dedicated to all photos in my catalogue that are related to architecture in some way. From the neo-futurism of Zaha Hadid's 'The Port House', through to Gaudí's flamboyant Catalan modernisme, and onto regular vernacular architecture, which is also known as folk architecture — meaning styles of building that are outside of any movement or style.

The collection will grow over time as I add new prints and take new photos. Architectural photography is one of my favourite to photograph, and also one of the most tricky to get right. However when you get it correct, it often completes an architect's vision for a project, and indeed many architect's choose their photographers carefully.

The Port House by Zaha Hadid | Antwerp

the diamond-shaped glass structure was inspired by Antwerp's history

The Port House in Antwerp is a magnificent architectural neo-futurism gem that was completed in 2016. Designed by the late British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, the building is located on the site of a former derelict fire station and serves as the new headquarters for the Antwerp Port Authority. It is a prime example of contemporary architecture, boasting a striking and bold design that seamlessly blends the old and new.

Art & City Barcelona | Spain

Barcelona is one of Europe’s trendiest cities.

Bar-ce-loona as Freddie Mercury famously sang for the 1992 Olympic games — sometimes I feel like I wax lyrical about the perfect triad of location, culture and history that makes Barcelona such a great city.
