The Lowry Hotel, Manchester

The Lowry Hotel in Salford, Manchester was built about 12 years ago for Rocco Forte Hotels and for a long time was the only 5 star Hotel in Manchester.

Consarc were the project architects and they wanted the development re-photographing to show how well the design was wearing and how it had stimulated the urban regeneration of this former industrial Chapel Warf area.

This was the first real outing for my Nikon D800 and the 14 stop dynamic range was a real help when photographing the white painted Calatrava designed Trinity bridge in the bright sunshine.

The Hotel and bridge still look great and this more than made up for the 20 hour working day.
