Jack Orton photographs Portland, the island that has provided stone for the UK's most famous buildings
Briefly

"I was interested in how the stone is this symbol of wealth, status and power. I don’t believe Portland itself is widely known but, by contrast, Buckingham Palace is."
"One image in the series in particular encapsulates just how revered the stone is - a photo of Wren's stone being unveiled at Portland's sculpture park; the imposing white obelisk stands tall against a bright blue sky, surrounded by a crowd of eager figures, phones aloft."
