Coast

Light, landscape and the sea, across two coastlines.

01Two coastlines, one light

Cornwall and the Eastern Cape share a coastline in name only. The light doesn’t know that.

Cold Atlantic grey and warm South African gold end up saying the same thing, if you wait for the right ten minutes. This collection isn’t organised by place. It’s organised by the thing that made us stop the car.

02What we're actually after

Not the postcard version. The ten minutes either side of it — before the light is right, and just after it stops being right, when everyone else has already put the camera away.

Every coast collection starts the same way: get there before anyone else is awake, and stay until well after they’ve gone home.
