Coastal Monochrome
A photographic portfolio of monochrome coastal photographs split into four themes, Home, West, Grand Cayman and Florida.
Home, featuring areas around West Wittering in West Sussex, comprises imagery which reflects upon the relative tranquillity of life on the coast shortly before, during and after the COVID-19 lockdowns. West covers the stretch of the north coast of Cornwall, from St Agnes to Lands End, via St Ives, Zennor and Sennen. Grand Cayman, a British territory in the Caribbean focuses on its beautiful western and northern coasts. In contrast, Florida centres on the Atlantic coastal resorts of Deerfield Beach and Hillsboro Inlet, viewed alongside their enchanting sections of Florida’s intracoastal waterways.
