Cathedral Peak Hotel
However, I was not here to climb the mountains, but rather to photograph a few of the people who, for generations, have called the foothills of this majestic escarpment their home.
I had contacted the Cathedral Peak Hotel – a nearby establishment providing a means of living for many of these people - several months before my visit in order to request permission to photograph those members of staff willing to have their portrait taken.
I wanted to give these people a voice, give them the chance to express themselves, to let their feelings be known.
I am based in London and specialise in portraiture.
