A photographic journey of the Queensferry Crossing bridge being built.

On August 3rd 2012 my Dad and I decided that we would take our first photographs of the ‘new bridge’ on the Firth of Forth, which was in its first stages of construction. At the time, everyone referred to it as the ‘new bridge’ because it was yet to receive it’s name of ‘Queensferry Crossing’.

The Queensferry Crossing is a cable-stayed bridge measuring 2700 metres in length.

The idea to begin this series of photographs was my Dad’s and I can’t take too much credit for it because he has been a bit more dedicated to it over the past 5 years than I have. This is the longest photo project either of us have ever challenged ourselves to do and it’s been a wonderful journey to work on something like this with my Dad.

We have spent many days throughout all the seasons to show the progression of the construction in a way that flows from the first image to the last.

The photographs in this series show our evolution through different cameras from: Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm and Leica - but, more personally for us, they show our progression as photographers and our journey as a father and daughter photographic duo.

It’s always incredible to look through a series like this and we can’t quite believe how quickly the time has past. We hope you enjoy this series, which depicts a historical landmark of engineering marvel and shows the construction of the third bridge of the Firth of Forth, Scotland - connecting the Lothians to Fife.
