Capturing empty open spaces during the Sydney lockdown had many advantages.
The most significant one to me was that it created a unique look of urban calmness.
One perfect example for this is the black and white photo below of Liberty Place.
Normally this location is a lively, busy commercial precinct in the middle of the Sydney CBD.
Just out of frame from the photo is the ANZ Tower Building.
It is the largest office building in NSW to achieve a 6 star green star – office design V2 rating, by the Green Building Council of Australia.
Arriving mid afternoon, strong highlights appeared and lightened up certain areas of this precinct.
The contrast with the rest of the space in shadow had to be captured.
Converting this image to black & white further enhanced the lighting effect and overall setting.
