entry description
The north shores of the Norfolk coast have an unspoilt quality and are always changing due to the constant erosion and deposits of sediment from the North Sea tides. This series of photographs have all been taken looking across what is called The Wash, which is a shallow bay exposing sandbanks at low tide. I wanted to explore the beauty that the low tide leaves behind, the fragility of these conservation sites and the potential loss of these low-lying Fens if sea levels continue to rise. The historic coastal towns that now lie inland could once again be exposed to the North Seas waters.about the photographer
Anthony Lamb (b.1976) in the UK, he completed a BA (hons) in Art History and Furniture and Product Design. Anthony has over 40 international photography awards and 17 years experience as a photographer, he is based in the UK and UAE. Anthony incorporates a minimalistic approach within his photography and this simplicity shifts our perspective so the imagery is less about actual place and more about emotional state. In his photographs he uses negative space and an ethereal aesthetic to provide the viewer with a sense of serenity and calm, sharing the emotions of the moments he captures. His post-production style offers pastel expressionism to further sooth the soul offering the viewer the opportunity of escape into the purest essence of solitude. Anthony is drawn to water and open space, so you will see this narrative in many of his photographs. “My wish is to offer different frames of reference that transport you to a place that is suspended between reality and surrealism"back to gallery
