Skopje on Film

Skopje was another destination that hadn’t been of any interest to me until a friend moved there. With a quick weekend trip planned it would be a great destination for a few rolls of black and white film. I had taken another roll of film during the trip but unfortunately it was damaged during theContinue reading “Skopje on Film”

The Long Way to Mäusebunker

I had dedicated some time during my visit to Berlin to hopefully visit Mäusebunker, an old animal testing laboratory that had become an icon of Brutalism in the city. I knew it would take some time as the train ride in one direction was 40 minutes alone. Then there were a few stops I wantedContinue reading “The Long Way to Mäusebunker”

BRUTAL Berlin

Architecturally I had high hopes for Berlin. I knew about the redevelopment of the city after the war then again after after reunification, but I wasn’t prepared for the scale of the development I would encounter. Whole city blocks and avenues created from nothing. Single apartment buildings stretching on and on. On the other handContinue reading “BRUTAL Berlin”

Berlin on Film

My recent trip to Berlin has left me inspired and I continue to look through the photographs I took in the city imagining a larger project that needs to be brought to life. Which hopefully will once I get the remaining films back. I found myself leaning towards my film camera more and after seeingContinue reading “Berlin on Film”

BRUTAL Bristol

Out of all the cities I have recently visited with the aim to photograph the unique and often brutal architecture, Bristol has far out exceed the others. Those that I found varied in function and design greatly, some of which are among the last remaining examples of their kind. After collaborating on BRUTAL Bristol withContinue reading “BRUTAL Bristol”

Järvenpää Church through the Seasons

Over the years I have visited Järvenpää Church a number of times. At first it was just exploring the building and its surroundings, then I began to capture the same perspectives but at different times of the year. Further Reading: Exploring Linnahall through the Seasons

Chichester Festival Theatre

Chichester Festival Theatre is one of the closest and finest examples of Brutalism that I have to home. I often visit Chichester and it has been a focus of my photography work in the past, especially when exploring the city’s architecture for South Coast Journal. Over the years I have shot the building numerous times,Continue reading “Chichester Festival Theatre”

The Contributors of BRUTAL Bristol

I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the contributors of BRUTAL Bristol by sharing their work and how to find out more about them. Without their interest and support in this project it would have never left the idea stage. I hope that if you either already have a copy of the zine orContinue reading “The Contributors of BRUTAL Bristol”
