Media City Photography

[Andrew Brooks]

I have just finished a commission for The University of Salford, which shows their building in Media City.

This was an unusual job as I had to create a building which is years from existing, and with this building I was asked to capture the excitement and activity of this ambitious new building.

The first job was to find the very best view of the building, which in the end became photographs from 3 view points. Then I used an idea from one of my music videos to create a building out of glowing neon, see this video that I made for Manchester band Pulby to get an idea what I was thinking.


Here is the neon Salford Building in close up.

And here is the full panoramic which I worked the neon framework onto.
