Architect’s Journal Feature on London Panoramas

The Birds - Will Pearson 2004-2009

Architect’s Journal (the Emap publication for British Architects) is running a feature about my London panoramic photography. The article has gone live on their website today. The feature reads:

Some of Will Pearson’s stunning London panoramas

Photographer Will Pearson’s panoramic cityscapes capture London’s most famous architectural icons and offer skyline views over the capital.

His panoramas have been exhibited in the UK and China and are regularly printed at impressive scales; a recent commission at 32m long. As a result, the digital process Pearson uses often involves a method of photographic stitching, whereby a number of images are digitally combined to produce the final result.

As well as London, Pearson has documented the city of Shanghai and landscapes across America. His architectural work also extends to virtual tours of cities and interiors.

The article features 11 of my London panoramas, including The Birds, shot at Trafalgar Square. Many thanks to Alex and all at Architect’s Journal for the feature.

Siemens Panoramas Launch

The www.siemens.co.uk website now features a large panorama which I shot to show the various landmarks on the London skyline. The panorama works to highlight Siemens’ key London projects, and the scrolling mechanic is a great new way in which to use panoramic photography.

Barclays homepage August 2009 - photography by Will Pearson

If you were looking at the last entry on the blog and decided to go and visit the Barclays.com homepage to view the panorama in the last couple of days – you might have been a little confused to see a different shot! The panorama has now changed to a different gigapixel panorama which I shot for Barclays. You can see a close-up of this shot here:

Barclays.com Panorama

If you visit the Barclays.com homepage you’ll see a panoramic cityscape looking north over the Thames. I was commissioned by Barclays’ agency to shoot a London skyline panorama with the Barclays HQ at Canary Wharf. I shot the image from a secret rooftop location in Greenwich to give a unique perspective on this familiar view.

New panoramic views over London from Greenwich

I thought I’d add in one of my latest shots – it’s a panoramic view over London with the Old Royal Naval College in the foreground. Alongside the more obvious landmarks like the O2 Arena, Canary Wharf, The Gherkin and Tower 42 are the landmarks that you don’t see straight away, like Tower Bridge or St Paul’s Cathedral. And check out the number of cranes to see how fast the London skyline is changing.

Portfolio: New ‘Zoomable’ Panoramas

Increasingly I am shooting images at an incredibly high resolution and so the file sizes are massive. This means that it’s difficult to display them online in a way which does them justice. I have introduced a new section on the site which aims to show the files bigger than before, so people can zoom in and see the details.
