Alastair Philip Wiper is a UK born photographer who now spends most of his time in Copenhagen, Denmark. He loves man made wonders and has a penchant for the large and strangely beautiful. Among his many projects he’s photographed the largest abattoir in the world (Denmark), the largest underground particle physics lab (Italy) and the building of the largest ship in the world (South Korea). Basically, he likes anything that has “largest” in the title.
