willow wood community primary school, sunderland

client: esh construction

architect: sunderland city council

 

brief

I was commissioned by Esh Construction to photograph a new state of the art £4m community primary school in Sunderland. The school was designed by Sunderland City Council Capital projects team and includes nursery provision, a multi-use games area and sports pitch.

execution

I applied architectural photography techniques in order to produce a collection of images that would showcase all the design elements. The aerial images captured with drone technology bring an extra dimension to the building. I visited the site several times to capture the building in different lighting conditions. Twilight was important to showcase the lighting from within the classroms. The school was very accommodating, and this enabled me to include pupils at work and play to bring this superb building to life.

outcome

It was a delight to include pupils in the commision and this helped the eye catching images come alive with movement and I chose an evening with a wonderful sky to capture stunning twilight images.  The collection of images will be used by Esh Group for marketing activity on their website, printed materials and social media.
