  • A female member of the Thomas Cook staff issues foreign currency to an unseen airline passenger in the departures concourse at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. This Bureau de Change is one of two companies trading in foreign exchange, travel insurance and travellers cheques for passengers passing through this aviation hub is west London. We see on the wall behind the assistant, a beach paradise scene of palm trees, calm seas and beach chalets, the idea of tranquillity and prosperity. On the left are the exchange rates for the world's currencies for purchase at this kiosk. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • A bureau de change shop offers deals and best prices to tourists and Italian passers-by on a Florence street. With the countries' flags on the far left and across, are the buy and sell rates for the Euro. Lit with dot matrix numbers, the list of decimal figures can be seen from across the street. The female member of staff sits behind a glass window because she handles foreign cash from behind the security screen. Gazing into her computer screen and supporting her chin in her hand, the woman is in her own world, unaware of the busy street outside.

  • 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.

  • Cracked glass in a foreign currency exchange rates window. Currencies from the Eurozone and the USA, to Canada and Egypt, are displayed in the window of a post office in south London where customers are able to buy their foreign holiday money. The rates are there too for buying and selling notes and coins from countries abroad. The glass has been smashed, its cracks spreading out from the central point of impact, a metaphor for the cracks in the global economy.

  • A lone male figure makes his way along a corridor of power in the newly-opened European Parliament building in Brussels, Belgium. As the new head-quarters of the EU and an administrative home to the Members of European Parliament (MEPs), it is a contemporary architectural symbol of infuence and modernity. We see the man walking towards an open atrium. The viewer can see three floors though there are many more out of sight and on two of the levels there are TV screens with the stars denoting the number of member states at that time. The interior is grid-like with warm and inviting lighting, making for a productive environment in which office workers can feel comfortable when dealing with European political business.

  • 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. Ernst & Young employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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. They have currently invested in approximately 500,000 Pounds of office art.

  • 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.

  • Sex and Hospitality workers demonstration on 8th March 2020 in French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. As the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has brought New Orleans hospitality and service industries to a chaotic halt, a new coalition of local unions, worker advocates and cultural support organizations is calling for relief support  the Ernest N. Morial Exhibition Hall Authority, the convention centers governing body, and New Orleans & Company, the private tourism nonprofit formerly known as the Convention and Visitors Bureau. These rainy day reserves, the coalitions letter says, were amassed through the booming success of the hospitality industry — an industry that only succeeds and exists because of the work of tens of thousands of New Orleanians and southeastern Louisianans.

  • Dollar, Euro and Pound signs in a former Bureau de Change's window, central London. As if a ghostly shadow of their former values, the logos of American, European and British currencies are seen through the glass of the former exchange shop on Piccadilly in the West End. The detail view is symbolic of the UK recession and the falling prices of world money markets. These three western curencies are seen as fading entities compared to the Asian currencies.

  • A Trussell Trust foodbank food voucher in Kingston, United Kingdom. These vouchers are issued by care professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers, Citizen Advice Bureau and police, who have identified people in crisis and require an emergency food supply.  This voucher can be taken to the nearest foodbank and will be exchanged for a food box which contains at least three days of non-perishable essential food.  There are many reasons why people require foodbank supplies, which include: rising costs of food and fuel combined with static income, high unemployment and changes to benefits. In 2012-13 foodbanks fed 346,992 people nationwide. Of those helped, 126,889 were children.
