SSAW @ HHV
(Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter @ Herne Hill Velodrome)
by Boxedin, combining Carl Ison & Tianne Bell’s photography.

My latest completed commission and it couldn’t have been a better one, as it’s based on my spiritual home (Herne Hill Velodrome).

One of the fab coach’s who follows me (and visa versa), had saved graphic and fly-on-the-wall images of mine taken over the last few years at HHV, as well as taking her own fab images whilst coaching there. She then asked me if I’d put a montage together using both sets of images as the starting point.

The result is this awesome 36 pic gridded square montage, depicting the four seasons of Spring (3x3 images in the top left), Summer (3x3 images in the top right - the racing season), Autumn (3x3 images in the bottom left), and Winter (3x3 images in the bottom right), of the oldest Velodrome in the world.

All pics are held in place with solid silver pins and there is a gold wax seal and tag, in the top right, showing that it is a ‘One off’ piece (a red wax seal depicts a limited edition or series). A silver plated camera charm dangles in the bottom right, as a symbol of our collaboration.

Thanks 🙏🏻, it was an honour to do this for you and to combine our fab observations through the years and seasons of such an iconic place.

Enjoy 👀

Q. What do you do when you’ve taken over 70,000 images during the past 30 years?

A. Show friends, followers and potential customers the possibilities. Just ask, I’m up for any challenge or request.

Boxedin has what it takes to bring flats, houses, offices, receptions, bars, coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and boutique shops to life with style and individuality. All from my own library of images or a customers specific brief.

The first ordered A3 framed ‘Herne Hill Velodrome, the home of track cycling’ poster, after selling the A2 framed poster in my two day ‘Artists Open House’ exhibition, only moments after it opened in the Grandstand at HHV itself.

It is all the more special, because it was ordered by Mr & Mrs Wright, the parents of none other than Fred Wright, the Pro cyclist that rides for Bahrain Victorious and he’s also just become the British National Champion. His father Phil, also coaches at Herne Hill and is one of the reasons the place is sooooooooooooo special.

Thank U both, I’m honoured and super proud too!
