Untitled Photographs

I love the photography of Martien Mulder and was very excited to see she had started a blog posting images that aren't from a specific project or have been shot for any other reason then because she has a great passion for photography. This got me thinking about my own photography. Recently I have found I have really only been shooting for a specific reason, either a client project or my own project which I hope to get published or be used in some other way. Within the projects there have been images I love but haven't been chosen or don't sit in with the brief and so they get forgotten. The idea of showing them here and also photographing just because, is really appealing, not thinking about the end result or location of where the images will end up is quite liberating. So I will start photographing again, just because, and sharing the left over images from projects here. Martien Mulder's blog can be found here

New Court, Christ's College and Fitzwilliam College by Denys Lasdun, George Thomson Building of Corpus Christi College by Philip Dowson of Arup and the History Faculty by James Stirling to name a few. I photographed the two Lasdun designed buildings late last year. New Court, Christ's College, 1970, has an amazing steeped slope of the students rooms with a terrace running through the middle. The rooms all have large windows that allow light to flood in and the use of exposed reinforced concrete is beautiful. Fitzwilliam College, 1964, has a very distinctive shell-vault like roof on the dining hall which is visible from the str...

New Article as Concrete Correspondence - Umbrella Magazine

    In my second article as concrete correspondent for Umbrella Magazine I talk about photographing the little known brutalist gem of the Spiritualist Church, Brighton. An unusual designed building that really stands out, it was great to photograph and the church very kindly gave me permission to document the interior which is rarely seen. The full article and more photographs of this unique church can be seen here . The next column will be out next year!
