"In 2010 Peter Marlow undertook ‘a kind of reflective pilgrimage’, in photographing the naves of each of England’s 42 Anglican cathedrals. As a contemporary return to the tradition of church photography in England, particularly the work of Frederick Evans and Edwin Smith, Peter’s typologies were taken in natural light at dawn, capturing the luminosity of each interior as daylight emerged from behind the altar.
The task was a considerable challenge and Peter was particularly concerned that the scale should be right. Peter 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.
All income the Marlow Estate receives from sales of this print will be donated to the Peter Marlow Foundation. These proceeds will contribute towards their charitable mission; supporting photographic education among school age children from different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds."
