One of my regular clients, Bishop Challoner Catholic Federation of Schools, needed some new photography of their building, both inside and out, following some refurbishment, and also needed some images of the sixth form block. I was also asked to photograph some of the students, at work and during their break. Continue reading School’s out (and in)
I’ve split my Instagram account into three as of the weekend.
Follow @nickminers for my day-to-day Instagram, with photos mostly from my phone of things I see and do that I find interesting.
Follow @nmp_brutalism for architecture photography – mostly black and white, with an emphasis on brutalism and modern architecture styles.
And for landscape lovers, follow @nmp_landscapes for my photos from Iceland, the Lake District and beyond.
Most of the images on these last two accounts are available to buy as prints – you can hunt them down on my online print store or simply ask by commenting on the photo(s) you like on Instagram.
Last year, The Guild of Photographers asked me if I’d like to come along with them on a photo tour of Iceland. I don’t need to tell you my response. Acting as a combination of participant and Iceland ‘expert’ (I hesitate to use that term as I know there is so much I still have to learn about the country) I flew to my second home on 10th March and spent 8 amazing days with a lovely group of photographers and our brilliant guide, Siggi.
Brutalism divides opinions. Many of our best brutalist buildings have been, or are threatened with being demolished. Yet nothing is being built these days that is quite like this bold, geometric, concrete, future-facing architecture. It can be found in many, if not most town and city centres, and every building is pretty much unique.
