Luv at First Site
Docklands Property Guide - Tuesday 1st June 2010
It's not often that we plug property websites, but just this once we'll make an exception. Funky property website luvthecity is expanding into London Docklands fron its northern launchpad in Manchester, and perhaps its northern origins are what makes it so fresh - where else would you expect to see a Top Ten List of chip shops? There's also a lively blog, with an infectious enthusiasm for all things urban which we readily share. But the site's bedrock is its listing - and critical rating - of apartment blocks, and there luvthecity is off to an assured start, since its Docklands favourites include not just glam newbies such as the Jam Factory, but Docklands classics like Cascades and under-appreciated gems such as the gorgeous Art Deco Alaska Building in SE1. We think that's reason enough to luv luvthecity

Luvthecity Commissions New Photography
Commercial Photography - Thursday 13th May 2010
I have been given a commission by luvthecity to photograph new and converted buildings in Sheffield. My biggest challenge is that all images have to be portrait, because not all buildings and their context lend themselves to that format – some buildings are naturally landscape. I am also using some of the photos I am taking as my submission for the PLACES part of the Approaches to Photography module. Actually, I am thinking about submitting eight images – four portrait-format taken for the commission and four landscapes as my own interpretation.
