One of our Black and White Prints of London's Shard
This black and white photography print of The Shard approaches London's most distinctive skyscraper from a different angle to the standard cityscape view — the composition uses a foreground architectural shape on the near side of the Thames to frame and complement the Shard rising on the opposite bank. Removing colour from the image shifts the focus entirely onto form, line and tonal contrast: the tapered glass tower reads as a strong graphic element against the sky, and the relationship between the foreground structure and the Shard across the water gives the image a depth and balance that works particularly well in black and white. The result is a piece of wall art that suits both contemporary and more traditional interior settings, and that holds its own at larger sizes where the tonal range of the image can be fully appreciated.
The Shard has been one of London's most photographed buildings since its completion in 2012, but finding a composition that goes beyond the obvious requires exploring the city's bridges, riverbanks and surrounding streets. This image was made from a position that uses the Thames and its architecture as compositional tools rather than simply as context. Whether you're looking for a considered piece of home decor for a London, cityscape or black and white photography-themed room, a striking artwork for a hallway, office or living space, or a thoughtful gift for someone with a love of London, British architecture or monochrome urban landscape photography, this print offers a strong sense of place at any size.
