International Convention Center, Sydney

darling harbour, Sydney


ICC Sydney is made up of three key, interconnected buildings, the Convention Center, Exhibition Center and Theatre buildings and it's associated landscape.


I've photographed Sydney's ICC multiple times, since 2016, during construction, through to 2026, initially for architects Hassell + Populous, various manufacturers + suppliers, and over the years for ICC Sydney.  I've been in helicopters and a number of roof tops to get fresh angles of these buildings, and the precinct, looking their best.
