Winchester Cathedral

My new ongoing personal project, Winchester Cathedral, explores the medieval, Gothic and Norman architecture of The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Swithun, commonly known as Winchester Cathedral. When I first entered Winchester Cathedral in December 2023, I was awestruck by its grand scale, especially the nave, which is the longest extant of any medieval cathedral in the country. Dating back to 1079, and extensively remodelled over the next five centuries by successive bishops, Winchester Cathedral contains an array of architectural styles, from the vaults of the early Norman crypt to the Renaissance chantry chapels and the 14th and 15th century Gothic nave. These photographs were taken at dawn, before the cathedral opens to the public. I captured the interior in all its stillness and tranquillity, creating a sense of timelessness. My photographs strive to celebrate the beauty and magnificence of Winchester Cathedral and its evolutionary architecture.
