Ruth McQuiggan
I am an architecture and interiors photographer who photographs buildings without a human presence. Inspired by the work of Candida Höfer, I document relatively unknown historic interiors in Edinburgh and capture the spaces without any people present. I paired wide-angle views with smaller, intimate ones to provide more context and draw viewers into the spaces. The images in this series are from Edinburgh University’s New College Library, founded in 1843 as the library of the Free Church College, St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral, dating back to 1814, the City Chambers, built in 1753 as the Royal Exchange, and Surgeons' Hall Museum, which opened to the public as a museum in 1832.
