The Manchester Mega-Photo
The Manchester Mega-Photo is my flagship image. It consists of over 300 individual photographs each taken with a zoom lens. This technique results in an image of astounding detail that can be blown up to massive size, whilst retaining a startling level of detail.
The Manchester Mega-Photo has been on display at Urbis since July 2008
Manchester Mega-Photo at Urbis
"We are delighted to have been able to realise and present Aidan O’Rourke’s Manchester Mega Photo project. It’s an extremely inventive and striking approach to the documentation of a city, and its display in Urbis foyer has been met with a huge amount of interest and appreciation from our visitors."
Paul Luckcraft – Creative Project Manager Urbis www.urbis.org.uk
The technique requires a high level of skill both in the capture of the photographs and their manipulation in Photoshop.
I am building up a library of ultra high resolution cityscapes of Manchester, Liverpool and other cities. It's also possible to commission a unique ultra high resolution cityscape for exclusive use.
The images can be presented in a variety of formats:
Large canvas print
Scaled down mega-photo version suitable for office or home.
Ultra high resolution mural
Can be printed on a variety of surfaces, big enough to fill an entire wall.
Custom mounted photocollage similar to the one at Urbis
Expensive, labour intensive but very large and a unique arifact.
High resolution wallpaper
Printed to order at your specified dimensions. An easy and cost-effective way to enjoy the benefits of an ultra-high resolution photo
Licence the high resolution file for various uses
E.g. used on an advertising billboard, in a print advert, on a mural for display at a trade show, on a large banner
Photographic print up to 30x20 inches
A big photo can still have a lot of impact at smaller sizes.
There are not many other photographers producing images of this detail and scale. A growing number of clients are coming to recognise the uniqueness and power of these remarkable images, and are using them or commissioning them.
A large mega-photo cityscape makes a stunning feature in a reception area, office, board room or any other part of a workplace. They would be especially well-suited to airports, hotels, retail outlets, restaurants and bars.
Equally they are a fantastic addition to any home, adding an extra 'window' onto the city. They are an endless source of visual interest and a unique talking point.
