Before he became a professional photographer and videographer, Anthony Edralin worked as an analyst for Sky TV. On the day this shot was taken, they had recently moved to new offices, and Edralin found himself staring out of the window waiting for something to happen. Then it did, in the form of a gaggle of window cleaners on cherry pickers.
“It was a bit of a spectacle because we were so high up and it was odd to see someone standing in a 30ft-high window. An office environment can be a little monotonous, but the atmosphere changed slightly; there was a bit of a buzz.”
Edralin describes the cleaner in this photo as “a bit of a Jack the lad. I think he was looking at his phone, which put his body in this odd position. There are some great abstract shapes, and the fact that you can’t see his face gives an air of mystery.”
He hopes this shot shows that “fancy cameras aren’t needed to capture an abstract way of looking at something. No matter the circumstances, there’s an artistic angle to everything.”
