I’ve decided this year to write a few blogs about the places I revisit in both London and Cambridge and in this first blog I’ll be heading to Cambridge.
Aromi is an Italian restaurant in the heart of Cambridge and it's one of the cities most popular eateries, this is on a street that for a few months of the year has amazing light. Throughout the summer the restaurant hangs chains that cover the entrance and I’m like a moth to a light.
Because of the popularity of this place the footfall is incredible, this has to be one of the busiest places in Cambridge apart from Kings Parade. Not only do you have people coming in and out of the restaurant, but you have passerby's looking through the windows, watching the chefs at work.
Every year I wait for the sun and chains and I’ll end up spending hours standing near the door waiting for the perfect moment and I’ve captured so many good photos from this one spot. Over the last few months, I’ve also noticed that when the sun is setting it throws light down the street and this has an effect on the window that allows me to get perfect reflections of people walking near by, as of yet I haven’t got a photo that I’m 100% happy with, I will share a few below just so you can see what I mean.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop going back to this spot and as long as the restaurant keeps hanging the chains over the entrance I’ll keep shooting.
Enjoy the photos
