Sentinel

Fascinated by the rigidity of their looks and their stoic and statuesque appearance, I have portrayed various types of sentries which can be found throughout Europe.

Once only the best soldier could aspire to reach this prestigious position, in the early days they where even penalized for sleeping whilst on duty.

Nowadays in some countries the sentries still fulfill the honorable position of guarding/ protecting lives or buildings, but in most cases the original function has changed it´s significance of being a simple tourist attraction.
