Reverend Marion Pyke

Marion is the vicar at St. Peter's in Caversham but grew up in Spencers Wood, south of Reading.

She is also Chaplain of Westminster Abbey and Christchurch Cathedral Oxford.

I was asked to photograph Marion for the Spencers Wood Local History Group website last week.

We recorded a little of Marion's
memories of growing up in the village and set it to a background of images from the local history group. Click here to have a look.

All that was left was to make a portrait of Marion to accompany the article. I often use studio style lighting to create a portrait but sometimes, as here, nice soft windowlight works really nicely.
