No need for lighting to be all Greek to me...

27th June 2021

I was commissioned to photograph the new sculpture by artist Matthew Darbyshire that has been installed outside Cambridge North station. It depicts Greco-Roman deities Hercules and Galatea and is intended to challenge traditional perceptions. Galatea is shown as the “strong, dynamic and empowered figure challenging Hercules, who is sculpted to appear rigid and dated”.

The Joy of photographing sculpture is that usually it is static and rooted firnly in one position, which means I can revisit the location at various times over a full day, or if required days, to watch the light changes photographing the art in the light best suited for that each piece of public art.
