LONDON
04.2025
London is truly alive.
The people are a restless bunch; never idle and always going somewhere. They may not give you the time of day, though it’s because they have no time to give. The city stands tall, ever-watchful, though the people run through it like water.
London requires everything you’ve got to stay on your feet, though in the process you tend to lose the real sight of the world around and above you. Sure, you begin to learn which rectangle lives where, but you lose a deeper understanding of the intricate details of each creation when your life morphs into the blur that London desires.
This body of work takes a moment to marvel at the spectacular scale of the living city, looking up at the grand monoliths that quietly reflect their surroundings.

Made with a selection of photos from the ‘London, 2025’ collection, this extensive book gives a new way to experience the buildings of the big city in a physical, tangible way. This book invites you to look closely and see the rhythm in repetition, the poetry in concrete, and the elegance in decay.
Through refined photography and restrained prose, eyes below: Glass, Earth & Stone explores the emotional and aesthetic language of architecture, acting less a guide to each location and more a visual essay. This is a study of light, shadow, geometry, silence as well as our progress as a creative species, giving a unique view to the structures of London and its relation to its inhabitants.
Made in collaboration with graphic designer, Millie Gibson, this distinctive perspective on London’s architectural make-up has a keen eye for design as well as a photographer’s lens. This gives each page and larger spread a unique appearance and layout, inviting readers to twist the book and change their perspective of these large monolithic structures, just as the photographer had whilst capturing them.
