7. “I wanted the buildings to look like models, and to photograph them from above
on sunny days so there was a sense of a singular light source” – Tom Merilion

8. Aerial photographs of Birmingham. Merilion achieved this by photographing from
a small aircraft flying low over the city centre. He used an architectural lens the
wrong way round, with a selective focus and a polarizing filter to emphasize the
colours of sky and foliage.

9. Series of work: metropoli project 2000 – 2003. Includes images on Birmingham and
other major UK cities.
