I wanted to shoot The Shard but in a more abstract way than many of the traditional 'architecture' shots. My goal was to make the structure more abstract and bring it within its surroundings in a more 'macro' way. To achieve this, I positioned myself on the ground in front of the entrance to 1 London Bridge using the glass and steel structure of that building to frame the glass and steel structure of The Shard.
