  • It is the mid-afternoon break and striding confidently through a monochrome scene, a female employee of international auditing company Ernst & Young makes her way towards security barriers carrying her purse to exit E & Y's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarters at More London, London England. A distracted male colleague approaches in the opposite direction, already having swiped his proximity card (using electronic key card technology to allow access through proof of authenticity) into the magnetic scanner while talking into his mobile phone. Both are dressed cassually, reflecting E & Y's policy of informal clothes for anything other than senior executives. Ernst & Young employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • A female office worker pauses to make a call on her mobile phone, on a wide walkway in Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarter at More London, London England. All other walkways above and below are empty and holding her head, the lady has sought privacy from her open-plan workstation and stands on her own. Architecturally, the term atrium comes from Latin: A large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective. E & Y employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • A lady concentrates in a cluttered office unit beneath corporate artwork in Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed building. The oval-shaped picture depicts an esasperated-looking female rolling her eyes to the ceiling while her contemporary below stares down at her laptop surrounded by the paraphernalia of her accounting London job. Dressed in an open-neck shirt and wearing glasses, the woman at work is busy and preoccupied with the job in hand of auditing a company's accounts. Despite all the 385,000 square feet in the European headquarters on the River Thames, there is no spare space in this tiny office that she shares with another employee. The Fine Art has been supplied by Anderson O'Day and E & Y have invested in 500,000 Pounds of office art for their 114,000 employees in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • Greeting visitors to Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarter are a team of receptionists seated working at PC computers in front of a shining art work sculpture by MCM Architecture Limited. This is a scene of understated efficiency of a modern office environment. Four staff composing of three females and one man, look presentable and well-dressed to reflect the casual sincerity that E & Y portray to the world of accountancy and auditing whose 114,000 employees are in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • Separated by colour-coded floors, employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, participate in informal meetings in E & Y's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Those on the top blue level 8 may be more senior to those below on the 7th purple storey of this tall, upright scene of modernity. It is busier on the upper floor then the two men beneath. Subsequent levels are vacant. Architecturally, the term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective on seniority and success as opposed to lower-ranking middle-management.

  • Separated by four floors, two employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, make their way along walkways in the main atrium of E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Striding confidently between offices, the two people are unaware of each other's presence but make their way from right to left of this tall, upright scene of modernity. The senior person on top may have an advantage from better opportunities, the low-ranking worker below may be needing to rise up the ranks. Morning sunlight floods through the green tinted glass that overlooks Tower Bridge on the River Thames. The term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective.

  • Employees in a central London office work dilligently alongside the reminders of vacations that colleagues and friends have taken. Picture postcard souvenirs have been lined up as a display of the perfect holiday when they have returned to work to put their shoulders to the grindstone. It is a scene of wishful thinking, of 'wish you were here!' and of looking forward to the next break from the toil of their careers so by showing the idyllic locations of their dreams with these visual reminders, can they imagine the beauty of these places: Tenby in south Wales, the Lake District in northern England and a country hall set in, perhaps, the Scottish  hills. An out of focus worker stares intensely into his PC, perhaps thinking of escapism and a life outside these four walls.

  • An odd job maintenance man bends awkwardly on a pair of stepladders to reach an internal light fitting in the cafeteria area of auditing company Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarters at More London, England. Dressed in blue shirt and dark trousers and with keys attached to his belt, the balancing man stretches into the hole left by the light to access wiring. To his right we also see an idyllic scene of wild meadow flowers, a carpet of red flora that goes into the distance though incongrously, the reflection of many cafe lights are seen in the sky of the meadow picture.

  • A young skateboarder leaps into the air beneath the huge memorial to the German Communist leader Ernst Thalmann, the leader of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) during much of the Weimar Republic. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1933 and held in solitary confinement for eleven years, before being shot in Buchenwald on Adolf Hitler's orders in 1944. The Ernst Thälmann Pioneer Organisation, consisting of the Young Pioneers and the Thälmann Pioneers, was a youth scouting-styled organisation of schoolchildren aged 6 to 14, in East Germany. Its motto was" "Für Frieden und Sozialismus seid bereit – Immer bereit" ("For peace and socialism be ready - always ready") but the Pioneers were disbanded in 1989 after early protests here in Leipzig at the same time as the Berlin Wall and the Socialist state's fall.

  • Looking up towards majestically tall Ash trees and blue skies, the sun glints off a window pane in an Edwardian age semi-detached house on Ruskin Park, Denmark Hill, SE24 (its post code) South London England. It is a beauitiful winter afternoon in this inner-city suburban district of Britain's capital, approximately 5 miles south from the River Thames. A couple are walking their dogs past an elegant line of period homes that were completed in 1908, the age of innovative building in the new 20th Century. The properties overlook the borough park named after John Ruskin, the renowned artist and commentator who lived in nearby Herne Hill. It looks an affluent area, a prosperous location to invest in a mortgage in uncertain times with market prices falling during the credit crunch and recession.
