01 / A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Some see concrete.
I see possibility.
Texture. Rhythm. Light. From monumental landmarks to the overlooked corners of everyday buildings, this is an invitation to slow down and look again.

FORM. LIGHT.
FEELING.
A closer look at architecture that refuses to blend in. A selection from the ongoing photographic project.

LRPS · CPAGB
ONE CAMERA.
AN ONGOING
OBSESSION.
The Brutalist is my photographic diary: an exploration of the buildings, details and unexpected viewpoints that make this architecture so compelling.
Having achieved LRPS and CPAGB in 2014, I began working towards the Royal Photographic Society’s ARPS distinction. Along the way, I’m building a resource for people who share an interest in Brutalism, photography — or both.
