SELECTED COMMISSION / PHOTOGRAPHY.
St. Mary's Gate — Manchester.
St. Mary's Gate — Manchester.
A commercial architectural photography project in the heart of Manchester, of a retail destination shaped by architecture, occupation and place, captured through an editorial approach to light, detail and atmosphere.
Architecture, occupation and commercial identity.
Architecture, occupation and commercial identity.
Commercial architecture / retail / photography.
St Mary's Gate sits at the centre of Manchester's commercial life, bringing together distinctive architecture and a collection of contemporary retail brands.
The brief was not simply to photograph the building. It was to communicate what makes the asset valuable — its architecture, occupation, identity and presence within the city.

The building.
The photography establishes the architecture first: proportion, materials, façades and the relationship between the building and its surroundings.
The occupier.
Retail gives the building its energy.
We incorporated the presence of its occupiers into the visual narrative, showing how architecture and commercial activity work together.
The identity.
Images with purpose beyond the project.
The strongest commercial properties are more than physical assets.
They become recognisable destinations.
The imagery was created to give St Mary's Gate a visual identity that could work across property marketing, portfolio communications, PR and wider commercial presentation.
The result.
A photographic collection that presents St Mary's Gate simultaneously as architecture, destination and investment.
Service. Architectural + commercial photography.
Purpose. Property marketing / investment / PR.
