Portsmouth Churches, 2010




                                                                               






This project was based on documenting a space. I chose grand churches, to capture the rich, intense detail and this sense of power a church can contain. 
Using a 5x4 Toyo view and a hand printing them myself, I painted light and colour to produce high quality photographs. 
Not being religious myself I wanted to document how I place myself in a holy space and what I instantly look at.  
This series captures the orderliness and symmetrical dynamics of a church.
