Dennis Gilbert has been photographing buildings since 1980. After graduating as an engineer in South Africa, he has  travelled in South America and studied art in Los Angeles before moving to London in 1983.

In the  past, he has worked on projects such as Kansai Airport in Japan, Chek Lap Kok in Hong Kong, the German Parliament in Berlin, Reykjavik City Hall and High Court, and the 12 new Jubilee Line stations in London.

He works for a  London-based architectural picture library, which supplies pictures from many photographers to publishers worldwide. Although his work largely consists of commissions by architects, arts organisations and publishers, Gilbert views his personal practice as a part of the whole: a distillation of all the narrative, documentary, descriptive, abstract or more personal elements that make up his approach to photographing architecture
