Cityscape Photography by Original Pictures
Craig Barker has created a series of dramatic urban landscape photographs based on the Manchester area for the Spire Hospital. His adapted cityscapes add creative licence to the famous buildings and viewpoints of the city.
The Harten Frameworks team assisted with some oiled oak frames to complement the powerful images.
Craig has also provided commissioned pieces for the Arbuthnot Banking Group PLC, which we were happy to assist with. His comissioned corporate imagery gave a new twist to urban photography, creating drama & sidestepping bland safe imagery.
