Blaenavon 1940’s

The heritage railway at Blaenavon held a 1940s event this weekend. A lot of effort had been put in setting up period displays and numerous characters helped to create an authentic feeling of war time Britain. I had hoped to take some candid portraits using the situation to add a situational context, which is something I don’t generally do. Unfortunately I don’t think I managed to pull it off and more practice is definitely needed. Still it was an interesting day and I met with some lovely people who were amazing at keeping in character – even if I was accused of being a spy!
