High Resolution

The City Awaits

City of London Photography This image was shot in December 2018, with the City of London in a period of unprecedented construction growth. The London skyline is changing daily. It’s a really exciting time to be photographing these iconic views. In contrast, inside these buildings, the thought is all of Brexit. The UK is on…
London Begins

A London Sunrise Panorama A new day over London, and the sunrise washes over the city. The square mile is drenched in light, the enormous buildings momentarily insubstantial. Usually, it’s the tall buildings that are the heroes of any cityscape. But here, the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court at the British Museum really proclaims its…
London Wide

As a cityscape photographer, I’m often asked “what building is that?”. The London skyline is evolving so rapidly, it can be hard to keep pace with all the new additions. To answer that question I’ve built this ‘enhanced gigapixel’ – where information is overlaid onto the image. You can click on an info point to…
Artillery Ground, Evening

This cityscape overlooks a part of the City of London that many of those dashing down the streets of Finsbury will never see. The vibrant green of the Artillery Ground contrasts sharply with the surrounding buildings. It belongs to the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC). The HAC building, Armoury House (not in view here), overlooks the…
Ultra High Resolution Images for Exhibitions

The images I capture are big – created through capturing and stitching multiple smaller images. Using medium format allows me to capture ultra high resolution images so when the final image is made, the file and the resolution is enormous. Size really does matter when you want to print big, without losing any quality along…
Virgin Radio HQ Cityscape Panorama

Virgin Radio HQ is in the News Building in London Bridge Street. Breakfast show DJ Chris Evans wanted to walk into work past an enormous cityscape panorama of the City of London. Will was commissioned to shoot a hi-res cityscape from the roof of the News Building to fit the bill. You can see the…
City of London Dusk

This gigapixel cityscape captures the City of London at dusk, as the windows light up and the city gets ready to wind down. Any fears about London’s future look utterly unfounded when you look at this skyline. When I started shooting the city the major buildings in this view would have been Tower 42 and…
Silver Gilded Photography at Sotheby’s

I’m delighted to have had one of my silver gilded photography images selected for an exhibition at Sotheby’s, London. Silvered City is a panoramic view over some of the City of London’s most iconic buildings. There is immense drama in these buildings, but their seriousness is lightened by the City’s oldest famed building peeping through…

Canary Wharf Pier is visible down on the water, and it’s here that the Thames Clipper docks with commuters coming from up and downriver to work at Canary Wharf. The tallest building in the image is One Canada Square, also visible are 25 Canada…
Isle of Dogs

Canary Wharf was built on the old West India Docks in the Isle of Dogs. With the advent of major container ships in the 1960s, the docks, which were suitable only for smaller vessels, had steadily declined and by 1980 had closed entirely. The area has been reinvented as a major London business district, with…
Constant Thames

This high resolution panorama follows the River Thames as it flows past HMS Belfast, the prestigious developments of More London, including City Hall, towards Tower Bridge, resplendent in blue and white following it’s recent repaint. Across the river, in the City of London, many of its iconic skyscrapers are bursting into light as twilight falls…
Infinitely London

London photos featuring many of London’s most iconic buildings. London’s skyline is constantly changing and this high resolution panorama features two striking new buildings, both close to completion. In the foreground is 20 Fenchurch Street. Its nickname the ‘Walkie Talkie’ can be attributed to its bulging, concave form. Just behind is The Leadenhall Building, rising…
Trafalgar Square Twilight Panorama

A high resolution panorama overlooking Trafalgar Square, London, as the lights come on to illuminate Nelson’s Column, the Landseer lions and the fountains.

Into The City

Here you can really look into the City – the panorama is incredibly high resolution so whilst you can stay panned back to take in the views over the Barbican to the Heron Tower, Tower 42, The Gherkin at St Mary Axe, the new Rothschilds Bank HQ at St Swithin’s Lane and the Shard, go…
London Stilled in Evening

London’s brief stillness in the minutes after rush hour has ended before the evening’s activity truly begins. The panorama takes in most of London’s major landmarks from The Shard to Canary Wharf, The City of London with St Paul’s Cathedral, with the Thames dividing the city and the Tate Tower bisecting the image.
Gigapixel 360 Panorama from the Shard

This is a 360 gigapixel panorama which I shot from the crane at the top of the Shard, London Bridge while it was still under construction. At the time of its opening, The Shard was the tallest building in the European Union. As at 2025, it’s the second tallest (outside Russia), beaten only by the…
Shard London Bridge Summit

This 360 image was captured at the top of the Shard London Bridge, 310m above London, on the night of the student protests in November 2010.
