01The brief

A city page needs pictures of its city that nobody else has.

02What we did

  1. 01

    We fly Surat at the hours it looks best: first light over Piplod, sunset on the Tapi, VIP Road and Vesu after dark.

  2. 02

    Every frame is edited by hand and kept at full resolution, so it holds up on a phone or a full screen.

  3. 03

    The library runs from the riverfront and Dumas to the old city, the Diamond Bourse and the new roads of Vesu.
