Engineers and places


I've just completed a 5-day shoot for Hyder Consulting, an international engineering company. The brief as quite tight and required shots to be taken in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. This photograph was taken on the Gold Coast of an engineer inspecting the balconies of an apartment building. I had to improvise a bit as it had been raining all morning and the sky was very overcast. The brief called for clear sky in the shots but on this day it wasn't going to happen. I shot from the pool looking up using the wavy balconies as a background. The result is an engineer looking to ride a wave in a big concrete swell.
