About The Artwork

Walking through a space is an experience hard to photograph. Chicago's Loop bounded on two sides by the Chicago River presents a good challenge in this regard. Beyond the iconic elevated rail system how does one describe this neighbourhood? As with a lot of my work I have resorted to the narrative, constructive possibilities of the traditional film contact sheet. The impossible becomes possible with this method. I have always loved the aesthetic of enlarged black and white contact sheets. When I first started working as a photographer the contact sheet was how we delivered our work to clients for selection. This image was shot over the course of one afternoon's walk up the South Branch of the Chicago River.

I am a photographer and have been based in Hong Kong, one of the greatest cities on Earth, for most of the last 25 years. My work is on display in Peninsula Hotels in Paris, Chicago, and Hong Kong, at the Norman Forster designed Cathay Pacific Lounge in Hong Kong, in the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and Grand Hyatt Macau, and in the homes on many many collectors World Wide. I have recently shown at the AIPAD Photography Show in New York, where my work was reviewed by Artnet, El Pais and Eye of Photography. Here's the Artnet story; https://news.artnet.com/market/aipad-2019-photography-highlights-1508914 It was in New York in 1999 that my interest in cities crystallised with two years spent there developing my photographic approach which generally favours pre- visualisation of the image and camera-only manipulations to create subjective but recognisable records of our time which I hope are a testament to my belief that cities should be vibrant, enjoyable, sustainable, democratic places that enable a positive future for us on this planet. I love to collaborate with designers and art consultants and an very happy working on commissions.
