Muslim World War Memorial gains approval at The National Memorial Arboretum

Huge congratulations to Benedict O'Looney and team for gaining approval on this landmark memorial at The National Memorial Arboretum!

The day we went to shoot started at 5AM, driving north through huge swathes of fog, hoping the arboretum would be in a clear patch. On arrival it turned out to be under a thick blanket of fog! We waited and waited and in the end it cleared, allowing us to capture these beautiful images.

I headed off to another job but Tony Jackson waited most of the rest of the day to shoot the aerial photography (outside visiting hours).

It was all worth it in the end with a fantastic proposal by Benny and his team and wonderful visualisation undertaken by Rose Wetherell @ AVR London! Well done to all involved, can't wait to head back and have a look once completed.
