For the last few days I’ve been working in Machester with Audi promoting the new A6. Rather than returning to my hotel room every night to watch hours of crap TV and enjoy the delights of hotel food I’ve been wandering the streets of Manchester picking up images.
Manchester is a beautiful city which has undergone serious regeneration and now boasts a youthful, vibrant centre, filled with beautiful red brick buildings giving a a glimpse to it’s historic industrial past. As with much of the North West these beautiful red brick buildings which lay at the heart of Britain’s industrial revolution are peppered all over the city. However, where in many cities they been left to decay and ruin, these former warehouses, mills and factories have been embraced reformed and turned into every thing from hotels to multi-storey entertainment complexes.
My interest in taking these photos stemmed back to a visit here in 2006 when, with a couple of hours to spare between getting off the train and watching a friends play, I went for a wander with my camera around town. One picture I took that day of the GMEX center, now Manchester Central Convention Complex, has become one of my best selling stock images. So I was keen to get some more shots which would relate to that.:
For this portfolio I’ve concentrated on the Printworks, Manchester cathedral, The Arndale Centre and the Manchester Central Convention Complex.
