The Yard / Poster
Loughborough, UK, 2022
by Luca Piffaretti
The Yard, so called from the fact that it was once an open courtyard, is the main working space at John Taylor Bell Foundry. For more than a century, old bells arrived here for restoration and newly produced ones left for more than 100 countries around the world. This photo is part of Chime Ding Cast Tin, a photographic project documenting the last major Bell Foundry in England and the people and skills involved in the craft of producing bells.

Born in a mountainous corner of Switzerland near the Italian border, Luca Piffaretti was first drawn to photograph his surroundings while in Bologna, where he graduated with a bachelor degree in Contemporary History.
In 2012 he moved to London to attend an MA in Photojournalism at the University of Westminster where through the eyes of documentary photographers like Mark Power and Nadav Kander he developed a passion for architecture and urban landscapes.
Luca’s photography process is driven by the same inquisitive spirit that pushed him to explore the streets of Bologna, in constant research of the perfect combination of form, texture and light.
He divides his practice between commercial shoots for architects and interior designers and personal work centred on a psychogeographical exploration of his surroundings.
