The sun was beginning to rise and as it did so it hit the glass facade of the buildings and reflecting off the surface it gave the illusion that sunlight was bursting out from within the buildings themselves.
It is this combination of light and shadow and how it interacts with architecture that informs Martin's work as a photographer. He will often observe how a specific building changes through the day by using his camera to document and record the shift in the relationship of light to its various architectural surfaces.
