Photography

Two of us photograph. It started because we could not describe a finished room to a client who had not stood in it, and it has since become the way we test whether a project has actually worked — a room that photographs badly is usually telling you something true.

Everything below was made on our own projects, in available light, on the day the building was handed over or several years afterwards.
