QUINTIN LAKE

Before embarking on a career as an architectural photographer Quintin Lake graduated from the Architectural Association where he held a scholarship and worked at Grimshaw Architects on the Eden project. His architectural training gives his photography a particular sensitivity to the hidden harmonies of light and form in the built world around us.

A book on his work "Drawing Parallels: Architecture Observed" published by Papadakis is a source of architectural inspiration from around the world with material drawn from his travels in over 60 countries. Richard Wentworth, who wrote the foreword, writes "With the eye of Quintin Lake, you are reminded to look up. He alerts you to both meanings, not just the spatial one, 'looking upwards', but also the pleasurable pursuit of information, or the tracking down of an acquaintance, whether a person, a building, or a space."

Quintin is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Society of Arts.
