Description

St. Paul’s Cathedral. London. 2011.

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.
