Prowling the grey streets of Reykavik, the capital of Iceland, in the drizzle, my eyes were drawn to colours like a starving man might be drawn to a burger advert.
Fortunately for me, in amongst the monochrome steel and concrete of this modern city, some Icelanders had rebelled against their colourless existence, covering walls and hoardings with an eclectic array of both classical and abstract graffiti.
This particular piece of graffiti took up the entire length of a wall and proved tricky to photograph as I had to take a series of images, shuffling one step sideways each time, until I'd captured the entire length as a sieres of files for later stiching together into this panorama.
Becuase of the somewhat uncontrolled nature of the shoot, the Photoshop stitch took on some serious distortions which required a fair bit of warping to fix, but I think that the effort was worth it to be able to show this street art in its entirety.
