A photographic journey....

A Day in the Life of Winchester and its Christmas Market

'A Documentary Photographic Profile' by Jessica Mills

It is that festive time of year once more and Winchester Cathedral are holding their annual Christmas Market featuring a large variety of stalls selling Christmassy gifts. In my photographic profile I wanted to show a day in the life of Winchester throughout the course of a single day.  I chose to include the Christmas market as the location for my documentary profile as it is open all day and when it gets dark, the lights are on and the market has a warm glow. There are many opportunities for both daylight and also night time photographs and the market is a constantly moving scene allowing me to capture the passing of time. Below is my collection of photographs which I hope you will all enjoy looking at

The Cathedral is one of Winchester's most famous landmarks and plays host to the city's annual Christmas-time market.

A folk band in the High Street entertains the public as they shop around for Christmas presents and head to the Cathedral and the Christmas Market.

The Life and Times of a Protestant Vicar

 

 Reporter Jessica Mills talks to the Dean of Chapel, Peter Waddell at the University of Winchester in Hampshire to find out just what being a Chaplain involves. Peter is responsible for not only the day to day running of the Chapel, but he also teaches Theology and Religious Studies. His career began after rejecting his Catholic upbringing and choosing to follow Protestant teachings as a member of the Christian clergy.
