Sally by the Carriages. (2016002-0055)

Photographs were taken at The Old Station, Tintern, Monmouthshire, Wales, United Kingdom. 2nd of February 2016.

 

 

About the model and the shoots.

 

Sally was booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, on the grounds of The Old Station at Tintern. The model was posting in a casual winter style outfit. She modelled in a tan coloured faux fur jacket, bought second-hand from charity shop. She worn her own casual sweater with her own blue jeans tucked into her own brown knee-length boots. I had requested the kind of jeans-tucked-into-boots kind of outfit, and she came with the outfit good enough for my plan.

 

The photographs of Sally posing in the front of an old carriage, were taken at various lens length settings and myself at various distance from the subject. That’s why the size of the carriage behind her looked different from other similar shoots.

 

 

About the location.

 

The Old Station was a former rail station near the town of Tintern, on the long since disused Wye Valley Railway line. The long gone line was 15 miles long, between the towns of Chepstow in the south and Monmouth to the north of Tintern. It opened in 1876 and was operated by Great Western Railway (GWR) until taken over by British Rail, then closed in 1964.

 

The rail station was bought and refurbished into a café and exhibition, and is open to the public. Monmouthshire County Council bought a couple of old carriages, which were refurbished as gift shop, tourism information, and an exhibition. The two carriages are displayed on what’s left of the rail tracks.
