ARPS
On the 14th September 2022, after submitting a panel of 15 prints for assessment to the Landscape Group of the Royal Photographic Society, I was delighted to be awarded the distinction of ARPS - Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. In this gallery are the 15 monochrome images which were all printed then matted and mounted on to 400mm x 500mm board. The final image shows the layout as presented during the assessment.
Mewslade Bay - Statement of Intent
Over the course of 25 years I’ve been taking photographs at Mewslade Bay on The Gower peninsula and at every visit I find fresh interpretations and compositions.
For two hours either side of high tide this small 500 metre wide bay is completely submerged. When the tide recedes its varied and fascinating underwater landscape is revealed around the base of the steep cliffs. Remarkable rock sculptures and textured rocks are decorated with numerous patches of mussels and barnacles sitting above the few small rock pools and streams across the sand. The only significant landscape variable at this inspiring location is the light; the rocks and beach hardly change.
My panel is intended to show the fascinating variety of inspiring intimate landscapes created by the sea along this short stretch of coast. Presenting Mewslade’s landscape in monochrome brings focus to the shapes, patterns and textures available for the creation of images.
