Sunday Stroll

I've been a bit quiet on here recently, work and life overtaking me, but had a lovely Sunday stroll through Canary Wharf and along the Thames shooting with my gorgeous little black Fuji X100V (a lockdown present to myself)

MAIN PIC: Camille Walala’s mural on the iconic Adams Plaza bridge to Crossrail Place.

Known for her bold colours, playful shapes and geometric patterns, Walala wrapped the bridge in enchanting geometric shapes and every aspect of the colour wheel. Inspired by the architectural details and pronounced perspective of the striking structure, she used the tunnel-like bridge as a canvas transforming the space into a surprising and vibrant backdrop for visitors.

Playing with the long perspective of the tunnel, the colourful design shows an optical pattern that shrinks and elongates as it moves across the bridge, creating a distorted effect as visitors pass through. By walking up and down the bridge visitors will also notice two different moods are created by Camille’s iconic colour work.

Installed for the 2020 London Mural Festival, the work remains as a permanent feature of the Canary Wharf public art collection.

Extras show some of the other test shots – portrait of my friend Neil, sunset and cityscape.
