Between 2010 and 2012 Peter Marlow photographed the naves of all 42 of England's Anglican cathedrals using only natural light at dawn. The task was a considerable challenge and Marlow was particularly concerned that the scale should be right. Marlow said: "It was important for me to keep a sense of the relative size of each nave, since some were enormous and others not. To do this, I used exactly the same elevation on the ladders and tripod, and kept the lens at a constant focal length." Pictured here, St. Paul's Cathedral.Harlem, New York City. 1963.
In the 1960s Leonard Freed began a lengthy examination of the plight of African Americans in the United States. Freed traveled to New York, Washington, D.C. and all throughout the South, capturing images of a segregated and racially-entrenched society. The photos taken at that time were then published in 1968 in "Black in White America". Freed's sensitive and informative black-and-white photographs investigate the politics of the country, and articulate the anxiety of under-represented and discriminated people.Exeter Cathedral. England, 2010.
