If You Stop…

Archive paper photographic prints.

A few years ago as I hurtled through pretty much every aspect of my life, a friend made a simple but powerful observation.

If you stop, he said, you will see more.

Those wise words adorn my studio wall and I’ve worked hard on that notion. In the process, I have discovered the joy of landscape photography.

The transient and often transcendent light, the diurnal patterns, the weather, the seasons, all shaping the outcome. Waiting and waiting for that perfect moment. Trying again and again. Constantly learning. Constantly discovering. The camera has become an integral part of my way of seeing.

If you stop… captures the tranquility of pausing in a series of long exposure seascapes taken on the Dorset coast, my childhood home, in March 2024.
