Dorset Coast Photography, 2023–2025
A collection built up over several trips along the Dorset coast, centred on two of the county's most photographed landmarks side by side: the natural limestone arch at Durdle Door, and the sheltered turquoise water of Lulworth Cove next door. Both have been visited in very different conditions, from a stormy October evening to a golden spring sunset, as well as from the air by drone, giving the same two coves a different mood each time.
Further along the coast, Bournemouth Beach has become a regular sunrise and sunset spot: the pier silhouetted against the sky, a surfer riding in at first light, and a lone gull working the shoreline.
Inland, the wooded clump crowning Colmer's Hill near Bridport makes for a classic West Dorset view over the surrounding farmland. Portland Bill, at the tip of the Isle of Portland, delivered one of the best storm sessions yet, with waves exploding over the rocks below the lighthouse, and a rainbow breaking through the squall. The chalk stacks of Old Harry Rocks, shot by drone above Studland Bay, round out the daytime set.
The collection finishes after dark, at Corfe Castle: the ruined hilltop fortress silhouetted under a clear winter sky, with stars and a rising moon over the village below.
