Brighton Corn Exchange window

I wanted to start the year off right with a photograph of the glorious Brighton Corn Exchange. I am documenting the redevelopment of this iconic building, a process that is adding new visitor facilities and restoring long-lost heritage features to this historic performance space. The Corn Exchange has the most beautiful

windows that I come back to over and over again, trying to capture their grace and elegance in photographs. On my most recent visit, this window was misted over, giving solidity and definition to its shape. The sunlight on the buildings across the courtyard reflected a warm glow onto the grid of glass panes.

Stephen Lawrence Trust Centre

This striking window by the artist Chris Ofili is at the Stephen Lawrence Trust Centre in London. The building is about to be transformed into a thriving co-working hub for start-ups in the built environment.

I will be there documenting the entire process along the way. This photo is from my first shoot at the centre, at the begining of the project. More of my photographs of the centre can be found here.

Reflected glory

I have been photographing this long line of colourful dancers at the Depot cinema building site for over a year now. They twirled their way along two walls of a large warehouse room at Harvey’s Depot, a former industrial building I have been documenting as it becomes a new community cinema. Although they are slowly disappearing through the process of the build, these last few revellers persist, now dancing waist-deep in reflected water.

As the renovation progresses, I like seeking out these remnants of earlier uses that linger on, reminding me of how much has changed. The dancers will be gone soon, remaining only in the photographs. They have been good company and have been part of many of my shoots of this building.
