I was comissioned by Abbey Road Studios, to design a set of 11 artworks for the trophies of the Abbey Road Music Photography Awards 2025. 

The concept for the awards trophies was a celebration of the hidden craft behind music. Taking inspiration from electrical equipment and circuit boards viewed in x-ray form, the design reimagines the analogue gear that has shaped countless recordings at Abbey Road. Photographic imagery of mixing consoles, recording devices, and other studio equipment is magnified and abstracted, creating intricate compositions that feel both technical and artistic. By revealing the inner workings of these iconic tools, the artwork pays tribute not only to the music itself, but also to the machines and craftsmanship that make it possible.
