Fay Godwin’s black and white landscapes were, and indeed still are, haunting and brooding in the main. Printed dark and with lots of contrast, she has practically never once cropped her negatives, choosing to construct her images purely through the groundglass screen of her Hasselblad.
Influenced by Bill Brandt and Paul Strand, she looks for the narrative in her landscapes, choosing to record man’s relationship with the environment. She’s made it her niche.
“I’ve always been interested in our relationship with the land. There is so much of great beauty and historical interest"
after looking into Godwin's photos I wanted to try and achieve a similar effect using black and white high contrast and also thought this would help with achieving the aged effect I wanted to relate my pictures back to the war.
