The Thames Series
As a filmmaker, and since 1998, Patrick Burchell has developed excellent working relationships with DOP’s in his field, amongst them Simon Wearne (a Namibian wild life specialist), and Amir Arjomand (an Iranian graduate of the London Film School). In 2011, whilst performing a scoping exercise for a short story along the Thames, Patrick, along with his team, created a series of river stills that has given rise to a first stand-alone photography project. Created over a number of months, and edited over no less than two years, the series aims to bring a Southern African ethos to London’s river landscape, with a renewed emphasis on light and detail, in a minutely planned and executed set dawn and dusk stills.
