Nominee

"Fly fishing"

Spiders threads caught in the late winter sunrise in an ancient woodland


Biography: Self taught photographer who came late to the art of taking photographs, but years of falling in love with black and white images. Inspired by the Remains of Elmet in the days when you got real books and could keep them at school, with the balance of Fay Godwin and Ted Hughes. Been a collector every since. I love the use of black and white to both strip away and reveal the story of an image and always am looking for those passing moments of light and shadow to tell a story
