Contemporary Urban Portrait Photography - Sheffield City Centre
17th October 2011
I love urban shoots especially in Sheffield because of the wide range of buildings. Sheffield has it all from old Victorian industrial buildings to contemporary architecture. Grace and Justin are both architects so I can see why they chose these locations. We started off at the Victoria Quays which is a large canal basin near to the centre of Sheffield. The next location was the iconic Sheffield landmark the Park Hill flats. This building is Europe’s largest listed structure and part of it has recently been restored. On the day of the shoot it just happened to be the open day for the first of the new apartments. Being interested in the apartments - Grace & Justin were keen to have a look. I had to take advantage of this cool location and combine a viewing with a shoot 
The last location was to the redeveloped Wicker area of Sheffield including Justin’s workplace. We finished the shoot inside the building using the modern interior of the studio as a backdrop. Here are some of favourites from this very enjoyable shoot 
Grace & Justin's shoot has also been featured on one of the UK’s top 10 wedding blogs – Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

Nice Mark! Great to see some pics of the redone Park Hill. I agree it makes a great photo-shoot backdrop, particularly with their choice of cushion for the show flat! Worthy of being one of your favourite locations.
