Carlisle Cathedral. England. 2010.
Between 2010 and 2012 Peter Marlow photographed the Nave's of all forty two of England's Anglican cathedrals using only natural light at dawn. The task was a considerable challenge, especially in terms of gaining access. Says Marlow: "Although I had decided that the right approach was to photograph with all the lights off, it was very difficult to convince the administrators at each cathedral to let me do it. It required a vast number of telephone calls and follow-up emails for them to give me access before sunrise and to arrange for staff to come in early." Pictured here is Carlisle Cathedral, also known as Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, England.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.Exeter Cathedral. England, 2010.
