by photographer William Mulryne
“It’s amazing how much photographs can take on the qualities of a fine painting sometimes. This is very evident in a new exhibition of young photographer William Mulryne’s work, which is currently being hosted by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust at Hall’s Croft.” - Gill Sutherland, Stratford Herald
I'm a documentary photographer with an interest in heritage. For me photography has always been about creating visual documents.
One of the things I love doing is bringing out details in my images, which fits well with heritage since sometimes you need to document scratches in a wall that you can't see, even when someone points them out to you.
The more challenging something is to capture the more I enjoy doing it!
