Thom Atkinson, Photographer, London

Description

An overhead flat lay photograph captures a collection of medieval artifacts, weapons, and garments meticulously arranged across weathered wooden floorboards. The central arrangement features a quilted gambeson layered over a red tunic and chainmail. Surrounding the garments are various historical items including a kite-shaped shield painted with a yellow cross, an iron helmet, multiple axes, spears, swords, leather footwear, small pouches, and wooden dining bowls. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the textures of leather, coarse fabric, forged metal, and wood grain. Captured from a straight-down perspective by photographer Thom Atkinson in London.
