This shot, taken from the Sky Pod Bar, which is on the 43rd floor of the ‘Walkie Talkie’ building at 20 Fenchurch Street, captures the perfect blend of London’s historic and modern architecture. The Tower Bridge, brilliantly illuminated, stands out against the darker tones of the Thames and the city skyline. In the foreground, the Tower of London adds a rich historical layer, while the modern high-rises in the background remind you of the city’s ongoing evolution. Shooting from such a high vantage point gave me a unique perspective on the scene, highlighting the iconic bridge with its distinctive blue accents. I used the Sony a7iii paired with the Sigma 85mm lens to frame this composition, allowing me to focus on the intricate details of the bridge’s towers and the surrounding buildings while isolating the image from distractions. The clarity of the lens and the evening lighting worked together to create a sharp, vivid image that captures the city’s energy and timeless beauty.
