Three decades as a commercial photographer for architects, interior designers, developers and hotels - across Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, India and the USA, including a decade based in China and an artist residency in Beijing. Three bodies of work carry the story.
In 1999 Blain was commissioned across the three-year construction of Melbourne's CityLink - the sound tube, the gateway, the concrete and light of a city rebuilding its arteries. The resulting exhibition became some of his best known work, and those photographs now open the film on this site's front page.
