Frozen Music

A work in progress

2025

Goethe once described architecture as “frozen music,” and standing inside a cathedral, it’s easy to see why. There’s a rhythm in the way the columns rise, in the balance of arches and windows, and in how light moves through the space. It’s quiet, but it speaks.

This collection of black and white photographs is my own way of listening—and looking. It’s an ongoing project focused on cathedrals in England and France, inspired by their beauty, their history, and the sense of stillness they seem to hold, no matter how busy the world outside gets.

I’ve always been drawn to the way light interacts with stone—the soft shadows, the contrast, the unexpected details that only show up at a certain hour. Shooting in black and white helps me focus on those elements, stripping everything back to shape, tone, and texture.

I’ve also taken a lot of inspiration from Frederick H. Evans, a photographer from the early 20th century whose images of cathedrals captured not just the architecture, but the atmosphere. He had a way of making these massive spaces feel human and spiritual at the same time. That’s something I’m aiming for too, in my own way.

This portfolio is still evolving—some images are from recent trips, others from places I’ve visited many times before. I’m not trying to document every detail or create a historical record. I’m just trying to share what I see and feel when I’m in these incredible spaces.

Thanks for taking a look..
