Each year in a small town in southern England, villagers celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by hauling flaming barrels of tar on their backs and running through a crowd of people.
Ottery Tar Barrels is an eccentric tradition that dates all the way back to the 17th century and commemorates the day Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. Photographer“Covering the Tar Barrels was a surreal job.
Photographing the event is a tricky task. The dark night may lead some photographers to grab the flashgun. However, there is ambient light emnating from the fiery barrels. “It was a challenge to photograph the event as it was dark, but the light from the fire is so bright,” adds Boskett. “I love the way it lights up the faces in the crowd as the tar barrel makes its way through the spectators at speed. A truly fascinating old tradition.”The Ottery Tar Barrels takes place on Guy Fawkes Night , a uniquely British tradition that commemorates the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to assassinate King James I by blowing up the English Parliament. Guy Fawkes was arrested while guarding the explosives and his name has since fallen into folk legend.
