Saint Fintan's Church


It took me a while to write these few words and first of all to get back to this abandoned blog. Truly crazy last 7-8 months with lots of work and not much time (if at all) for personal photography but here it is - I got a chance to make a few images of a building I was interested in for a few years now.

Saint Fintan's church in Sutton designed by Andrew Devane (of RKD Architects), built in 1972.
Classic, beautiful example how to deal with concrete, how to make it look great and and how to shape it. It’s not the first building designed by Andy Devane I am visiting. I am sure you remember photographs of incredible AiB Bank Centre in Ballsbridge … (please use this LINK to see images)

All photographs were made with Hasselblad 500c/m with Distagon 50/4 and two rolls of really good films - Rollei RPX 25 and ADOX CMS 20 which caught my special attention. 
I exposed Adox at ISO 16 and processed both films in Kodak Xtol as usual. Result was truly impressive. Beautiful , clear negatives with strong contrast and incredible tonality.
It was especially important in case of concrete structure like Saint Fintan’s church.

Time for a few photographs...
