entry description
The sun managed to break through the wispy clouds, shimmering onto the darker waters below. I used the curve of the shingle shoreline, to guide the eye up the frame towards the one solitary building in the vicinity - a lone coastguard cottage. I used a long exposure to emphasise the sense of calm and serenity then waited for the opportune moment for the chimney to point directly up towards the setting sun. I could not have timed this any better. Bliss.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
