Fire Escape Glow – Backstreets of Manchester

Bathed in a surreal, almost cinematic glow, Kris Massey’s photograph transforms a humble fire escape into a stage of light and structure. Shot from the ground up, the saturated reds and deep shadows intensify the towering brick façade and spiralling ironwork, evoking a sense of urban theatre. The overexposed sky bleeds into the composition, heightening the contrast and drawing the eye into a dreamlike vertical ascent. It’s Manchester — but reimagined through a lens that finds drama in the details and poetry in the fire escapes.
