New body of work coming along nicely, for my new exhibitions in 2013... Something very calming about sitting on the beach at 2:00am in the morning creating photos, this image is called - LUMINOUS DARKNESS and was taken on Slapton Sands Torcross.

Hope this inspires you to get out there and enjoy our environment, you will not be disappointed. Thanks

Inspired by the sea - Slapton Sands

This image was taken at dawn, when there was just me and a fishing trawler at Torcross. This makes me feel very special as we were both out there doing what we love, makes me feel like I'm feeding my soul as an artist. Great to experience such freedom and passion.

The lighting was perfect to give the sheen on the pebbles I had been trying to gain on previous visits. The sea was gently lapping at the shoreline just enough for me to get these nice deep grey tones at the top right of the image, and the bright highlights of the moving foam which looks like sea mist. The image was appropriately named "Ethereal Mist".

Slapton Sands Torcross Dartmouth

I often get asked how well timed my shots look and how close I must have got to the action. Well as this image shows I do actually like to get very involved in making my images.

This storm energised wave engulfed me and my tripod, to such an extent it did look like I was actually out at sea for a couple of seconds. Luckily my camera kit bag was a way up on the pebbles away from me!

The Wash Two is part of a series of images from that powerful and dramatic day, The Surf 2  and The Wash can be viewed by following these links.

This is the type of weather I'm so excited to see again hopefully this autumn. Stormy, dramatic and fast moving skies coupled with stunning rough seas. These are the conditions that really gets your heart pumping as you hear the waves crashing against the the tiny pebbles along the Slapton Sands beach.

I have spent most of this weekend finding new locations around Dartmouth, Castle Cove and then up to Little Dartmouth for my new collection of images. With the correct weather conditions,  and the official start to Autumn on 21st September I really can't wait to start shooting my new planned images!!! With a full moon on the 29th I think this will be the perfect time...
