"We like to shoot people as much as possible in our work. We believe the people are as much of the story as the architecture," he told Dezeen.

"I was trying to capture the bus stops in the best possible light, which meant shooting at 9pm and 6am. This meant there was no one there! I had to race around Krumbach in a hire car, jumping out at the bus stops and setting the camera to self timer and then running across the road to sit in the bus stop myself. The people that were around must have thought I was completely mad!" he said.
