Foundations - Shanghai

This is the outcome of two weeks in Shanghai spent photographing my final project
for Editorial and Advertising Photography BA(Hons) at Gloucestershire University.
The work has been blown up to 20"x30" for display at   >  XPOSURE SHOW 2011 <
I also have an A3 portfolio on display with my best work. Loads of young blood from
the industry will be there, featuring moving image, installations and, of course, free
alcohol. See you there.


         Foundations.

            This is a last look at the old Shanghai.
            These streets were here before any of
            the overbearing skyscrapers, when the
            sky was dark at night and consumerism
            was a dirty word. They have witnessed
            the surrounding city re-invent itself into
            the wealthy, cosmopolitan capital of
            Shanghai's economy. Now they stand
            defiant; a testament to the past, but a
            hinderance of progress. Encircled by
            modernity, they await iminant destruction,
            to become the foundations
            of a young megacity.
