South Coast winter greys

November 23, 2010 | Words By:

Meet Dan English. He’d rather be surfing than shooting, but when he does we get an insight into waves in the English Channel.


Dan resides deep within the hills on the South Coast of England. He started photography to document what was happening around him when he is not surfing as a form of self expression. He prefers black and white photography, as it conveys the mood of his surroundings more precisely than colour, although he still shoots colour and continues to use film. He concentrates on distorting the reality of objects and light during his surfing experience. Dan shoots with a Fuji Fine Pix S2000HD.

Shoot into the winter sun and you get a nice bleaching over exposed efffect. Groyne marker , the Witterings.
