IN the book, she shares a full tutorial on setting up and photographing one of her masterpieces. She talks about the thought process behind the modifications and adaptations she makes to the photo in Adobe Photoshop. She writes :

Many months of work went into creating the final piece, to hang in Kai Mayfair, an exquisite restaurant in west London which commissioned the piece especially for its space. This video intends to encapsulate the wealth of details in the image and the vast scale of its size, but which will always be best experienced ‘in the flesh’. ENJOY
