Hudson’s Site

Ryan Southen Photography was approached by SHoP Architects in 2022 after sharing images of the Hudson's Site on Instagram. While the firm was not originally documenting the site's progress in this way, these photos inspired a desire to collaborate that has led to hundreds of images cataloging the project—including wide-angle drone shots, detailed photos of the building's unique design, and images that capture the Hudson's addition to the beloved Detroit skyline. Watch this gallery for updates as the project continues!
