Capturing time! This series is intended to capture a ‘slice of
time’, through the use of long exposures up to 8 minutes long.
Using these long exposures to create simple, yet strong
compositions, I aim to show the interaction between man made
structures around our coast and the natural environment.
Working with such long exposures, inevitably means that I work
slowly and build up the elements of the image, piece by piece.

I normally prefer to photograph in subdued light, usually at the
beginning or end of the day, in what is commonly called the
‘blue hour’. By using this light, I create images that are almost
monochromatic, but are in fact still in colour, the use of which is
again intended to highlight the simplicity of the image and not
detract from the subject matter.
