Introduction (Brief)

Welcome to beyond the frame blog.

The purpose of this blog is to show the progress and development of my photographic project about the Thames, depicting the river as a “dark”, mysterious body of water and people, living on its banks.

The River Thames, as a subject matter within the project, is appealing to me for few reasons:

1.      It has very rich history – Thames is an old name, one of the most ancient names recorded in England.

2.      Thames, sunk deep into the English history, has become the image of the nation.

3.      River Thames is known, as the working river and the river of trade, the river of pleasure and art, the natural river and the river of birth and death.

Although, I’ve been planning this project for a long time, I’m still not entirely sure which direction I should go and how to reveal this subject matter, but I definitely know that I want look deeper and further, somewhere beyond the frame...

In the next posts I will publish the ideas and research regarding this body of work.
