I was deeply impressed by the representation of the architectural space of Westminster Abbey by the BBC, as they were recording the media spectacle of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding that I saw last night on TV.
It recalled the architectural work of Frederick H. Evans. He photographed English and French cathedrals around 1890 --1910, and who was regarded as perhaps the finest architectural photographer of his era:
Frederick Henry Evans, Westminster-Abbey-No-1, 1912
Evans' work is not concerned with factual imaging. He is fascinated with texture and with his concern is to show the effects of weight and balance, space, light and shade. He is more concerned to create artistic compositions than more straightforward documentary images.
