Metropoli Project
At the beginning of 2000 I started an ambitious project to investigate
and photograph Britain's major post-industrial cities.
My aim has been to document the multi-layered character of metropolitan areas
and to produce a coherent series of images which reflect the positive achievements
and realities within our continually changing urban space. I have tried to
remain objective in this documentary work but a theme that has became increasingly
important is to question as well as celebrate our collective responsibility
in shaping the environments in which we live.
