entry description
Late in 2020 another lockdown announcement was imminent, I took the opportunity to head to the coast for my daily dose of exercise, fresh air and to capture the frost and fog which brought with it a change of decoration for one of my favourite stretches of coastline. The coastal cottage was almost fogged out of sight and the conditions transformed the shingle banks into a moody, cool utopia akin to a frozen neverland. How welcome the fresh sea breeze was on this bone chillingly, cold morning.about the photographer
Seascapes, landscapes and urban environments are where I find my photographic inspiration. I’m captivated by the interplay of water, movement, and light, often seeking out rugged, diverse landscapes to explore their raw beauty. My photography is rooted in authenticity and minimalism, reflecting a deep respect for nature’s simplicity. Driven by a passion for sustainability and the restorative power of the outdoors, I aim to create images that evoke both serenity and connection in both our natural and urban landscapes.back to gallery
