Clarity
Capturing colours, and not detail, led me to take a long exposure of 50 seconds - removing distraction and resulting in composition and colour being brought to the fore.
In 2017 it was farewell office, hello outdoors - bringing photography to the fore.
Matt prefers to enjoy solo photography outings; creating a feeling of peace & tranquillity in his photography that counters the increasing intensity of the commercial world we live in.
Matt chooses to capture his home area of Sussex (UK) and the surrounding Southern Coast - in particular, seascapes.

entry description
A love of the coast, its calm and peacefulness and the feeling of escapism it imbues all went into making this photo. This location in Sussex (UK) had been on my mind for a while but required patience for a winter sunset over the sea combined with a well-timed high tide.Capturing colours, and not detail, led me to take a long exposure of 50 seconds - removing distraction and resulting in composition and colour being brought to the fore.
about the photographer
Photography has been in Matt’s life since being gifted a film camera on his 21st birthday. However, as is often the way, a catalyst encouraged the move from an office-based career to a rather different type of office – the great outdoors. The catalyst was Crohn’s, diagnosed in 2016, and the realisation that his health and happiness needed something other than the daily grind.In 2017 it was farewell office, hello outdoors - bringing photography to the fore.
