EDITORS COMMENTS
Air Raid (May 1940): A haunting print captures the intensity of a night-time air raid on the East coast of England during World War II. The long exposure technique employed by photographer Walter Bellamy creates a mesmerizing landscape lighting effect, with silhouettes of coastal defences standing tall against the darkened sky. This archival photograph, taken in May 1940, transports us back to a time when Europe was engulfed in conflict. The absence of people in this image emphasizes the sheer power and devastation brought upon by war. The weaponized silhouette serves as a reminder of the relentless attacks faced by England during this period. As we gaze at this historical moment frozen in time, we can almost hear the deafening sound of sirens and feel the tension that hung heavy in the air. Bellamy's masterful use of light adds depth and drama to this composition. The long exposure reveals streaks of natural phenomenon, possibly flares or explosions illuminating an otherwise pitch-black night. Through his lens, Bellamy captures not only an air attack but also conveys the resilience and strength exhibited by those on the home front. This powerful print is an evocative testament to one chapter in Europe's tumultuous history - a stark reminder that even amidst darkness and destruction, humanity perseveres.
