East Midlands Airport serves Nottingham, Derby and Leicester.  This set of images is from a shoot for Tobermore Concrete, and shows paving products in relation to new Airport buildings (Contractor: Bam Construction; Architects: URS).

At this time of year, the sun (when it shines, which isn't often) is low and creates effects which can be both interesting and problematic.  For example, the textures on paving are shown in sharp relief, but every stray piece of dirt or gravel stands out.  I also had to be very selective about which areas to photograph, as a lot of grit had been placed on the ground due to a frost the previous night.  There were also some very harsh reflections from the wall surfaces.

Some of the shadows were quite dramatic, which contributes to the overall feel of the shoot.
