Piece description from the artist
Framed by the sleek lines of modern architecture, Tower Bridge stands proudly in the distance, a timeless sentinel amidst the contemporary hustle. This juxtaposition of old and new captures London's essence, where history and innovation coexist in a harmonious dance along the banks of the Thames. What I love about standing here on The Rill, the brick pathway that goes toward the river, are the leading lines that make Tower Bridge the prime focal point in the centre of the story for this photo reaching over the people. To me, it’s dramatic and interesting and creates such a unique vanishing point on one of the City’s more iconic landmarks.
Esan Swan is a professional photographer, journalist and picture editor at the Financial Times in London. 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.
