Tonight I photographed 32 members of Blaenavon’s Male Voice Choir. I’ve been hoping to photograph the choir since I saw them singing on World Heritage Day but found them difficult to pin down… they get the school holidays off.
With the help of their coordinator Ian Cook I arranged to photograph ten members of the choir this evening at a studio I’d set up at The Workman’s Hall. Thirty three showed up. There are group portraits of the men in many Blaenavon shops, pubs and publications. I wanted to portray the choir as individuals but also as a collective. Two of the thirty three portraits are above.
Thanks to Mike & Sheila from The Workman’s Hall for allowing us to use their wonderful space. To Ian for helping gather the troops, to Louise for assisting and to Ffotogallery for providing a last minute spare part.
