Graham Holland's work is very interesting because it takes a different approach to the depiction of a cit. He doesn't sky away from the fact that city's are extremely crowded, busy, and sometimes unfriendly places, but instead creates pieces that not only show these qualities, but depict them in a positive light. I love how different his work is, and how he has used modern photo editing software to his advantage to create large scale vibrant photo montages of some of the biggest cities on the U.K.
