It's All Too Beautiful

Years ago before I became a Bernadinist, one Easter bank holiday, I took a walk that proved seminal to my work. I got off at Vauxhall tube station and decided to explore the south bank of the River Thames heading west. I walked down Nine Elms Lane all the way to Battersea Powerstation strolling mostly on the river path that ran parallel to it. June of that year I came back and shot my first Bernadinist portfolio. I came armed with ideas but came up with more suggested by my surroundings. I would stare through my camera and try to come up with a scenario that could be enacted in front of an interesting background. Most of it was shot in the deserted buildings around the Powerstation I have since walked down that road many times over the years and have taken many pictures at whiles.

Let's take a walk.
