CREATING A CUT-THROUGH PHOTO STORY FOR THE MONUMENT

To create a unique photo story for our client, The Monument To The Great Fire of London, Kallaway partnered with the London Fire Brigade to produce a commemorative photo-shoot marking 350 years since the Great Fire and 150 years since the founding of The London Fire Brigade.

The photo-shoot offered a poignant perspective on The Great Fire’s destruction and amplified media attention for our client, resulting in photo stories in City AM, The Financial Times and Telegraph Online.

We invited Firefighters from the City of London’s only fire station – Dowgate Station – to climb the 311 steps to the observation gallery and line up to take in the breath-taking views of the Capital from Sir Christopher Wren’s Monument to the Great Fire.

Esther and Susie from team Kallaway also joined the climb, taking a couple of behind-the-scene pictures, check them out below.
