Piece description from the artist
Looking skyward in the City of London, a symphony of architecture unfolds as towering structures converge in a breathtaking display of modern ingenuity. The sleek facades and geometric precision draw the eye upwards, capturing the relentless ambition and dynamic spirit that define the heart of this historic metropolis. I love looking up in the City, where the ever-changing skyline, evolving amidst cranes and scaffolding, brings a sense of calm and hope. The hardness of the buildings contrasts beautifully with the softness of bright white clouds and the blue sky peeking out behind them, creating a scene both soothing and aspirational.

With deep roots in his community and heritage, his work seeks to represent the rich multicultural storytelling that inspired him in his youth and continues to do so now well into his career. Historical documentary photography and varying art and social movements as well as commercial interpretation of beauty have influenced his work into a contemporary style that could be called its own. Originally from Bermuda and partly raised in the United States, his international approach to storytelling, from commissioned picture essays to independent work on his website, is defined by the aesthetics of nature, design and human connections.
