The Albany Crows Nest
It was a pleasure to shoot The Albany Crows Nest recently.
York and George Development, Sydney CBD
Fife Capital teamed up with John Wardle Architects to come up with this spectacular design which will truly be unique on the Sydney skyline. The tower is built on top of the existing heritage buildings and ‘cartway’ that occupy the space between York and Street.
It was a pleasure to photograph the final stages of the build for PGIM Property and FIFE Capital. Project by Watpac.

Taipei 101, Taipei City, Taiwan
Located in the Xinyi District of Taipei, an area known for its financial services and vibrant shopping malls, Taipei 101 represents a world precedent for sustainable skyscraper development.
Nearly every aspect of this building’s design is steeped in symbolism. The tower rises in a series of eight-story modules that flare outward, evoking the form of a Chinese pagoda.
The number 101 represents January 1, the first day of the year. As such, the building has become a central focus of New Year’s celebrations in Taiwan. Every year, all of the tower’s lights are turned off and each of the stacked modules light up in sequential order, counting down the last eight seconds before the New Year, which is followed by a dazzling fireworks display.
The top floor of each module houses mechanical systems, ventilation equipment, water storage, and MEP services. Near the top, a smaller tower caps the structure, forming a pinnacle that has become a familiar sight for the city.
TAIPEI 101 also contains a 728 tonne tuned mass damper, a large spherical steel pendulum that offsets lateral movements caused by strong winds. It’s located in a large multi-story cavity near the top of the tower. This location is ideal for countering overturning forces, a necessary precaution in a typhoon-prone part of the world.
Hsinchu Glass Art Museum, Taiwan
During the Japanese-ruling period, the Hsinchu City Glass Museum served as a guesthouse and ballroom for Japanese royal members and high officials on their inspection visits to Taiwan.
After Taiwan was recovered from the Japanese, the building was converted to provide accommodation for military officers. The architectural features of the museum today is that it combines a European-courtyard style along with an elegant and austere Eastern style art installation.
Hsinchu is the center of glass-manufacturing industry since the age of Japanese governance. The focus of local industry has slowly shifted to glass art because of changing times and markets. Right now, this museum introduces information regarding Hsinchu glass art, including its primary product characteristic, raw material, manufacturing and production procedures.

Industrial Shoot - Active Steel
Shooting on a construction site is always interesting for me. Get close, then get closer, be safe - and remember to always carry a lens cloth!
