James Clatyon Sattel’s RI Summer: Newport’s Steeples + Domes
Saturday, July 21, 2012
Photographer James Clayton Sattel is passionate about Rhode Island, particularly those shores, crags, and vistas of his home island: Aquidneck. GoLocalProv is delighted to be collaborating with Jim this summer on curated sets of his images that capture coastal life so vividly.
Today, Jim collects images from Aquidneck's varied churches. "In my humble opinion, what seemed to be a straightforward challenge of photographing Steeples and Domes, became a really a big challenge," he says. "Given that most shots are taken with a high vertical line, it is critical to schedule your shoots in the early morning or late day, otherwise, one is fighting with very stark light; resulting in white skies and lousy contrast." Sattel adds that Aquidneck Island is a wonderful place to create a portfolio of Steeples and Domes "They are simply everywhere," he said, "and living here, it became clear to me that Aquidneck Island's historical fame for religious tolerance shows in the architecture of these beautiful roof top decors; each possessing a style of its own."
