My aim is not to simply create an archive of Edward Bragg’s photography. I’ve been looking at his studies with my own ‘photographic vision’, treading in his footsteps, visiting his locations, and attempting to re-create some of these images. I’m keen to observe the changes in our Cornish towns and scenery and am considering why some of the sites were chosen to shoot from, i.e. often quite inaccessible high ground.

Here on the website I’ll muse on what he might have seen around him on the day he decisively captured a scene over 100 years ago. Look to left and right of the frame. Was the image captured on a sunny day? On the cliffs of The Lizard Peninsula did he hear the Skylark and smell the scent of gorse flowers? We’ll never know exactly, but, I feel my interpreting his images will bring us a little bit closer to the man himself.
