Martin Thompson takes beautiful pictures of trees seen through the seasons, as well as landscapes of breathtaking beauty. He also portrays London's tourist attractions and industrial sights. Whereas many of the edifices he chooses are wonderful architecturally on their own terms and are presented face on, he also digitally manipulates these civic monuments to add his own satirical, even subversive twist. The presence of peace protestor Brian Haw's profile against the House of Commons is a necessary reminder of photography's power as reportage.
