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.
I recently had the pleasure of a photoshoot with Claire, a friend who volunteered for a session after seeing my recently added Portraits portfolio (which now includes some pics of her from the shoot). I have included here the best of the bunch, and would also like to introduce you to my new portraits business, the imaginatively named Nick Miners Portraits. If you’re in the Hertfordshire area, or London, (or even if you’re not but are prepared to pay my travel expenses) please go and have a look and feel free to book a session or make an enquiry. I would love to see you.
Very near to where I live is a disused branch line that was closed down about 10 years ago. It’s still possible to walk along the tracks of this old railway and see how quickly nature is taking over where man used to hold sway. Here’s a set of photos I took during a walk there this afternoon.
