He published his first book of work at the age of 23 and has since gone on to publish more than 50 titles and shoot iconic images of Hong Kong, New York, and Libya for clients including National Geographic and Red Bull.

Despite having travelled the world, British-born Hawkes says that London is still his favourite city around the globe to photograph.

"I love the changes in the skyline with the new buildings cropping up," Hawkes told Business Insider, "and whilst the weather in the UK is a constant challenge, you can't help but feel privileged to be flying around town."

Jason has been snapping the capital throughout 2016, and his images capture the diversity of this complex city in a beautifully unique light.
