Personal Project 2025

In May this year I was drifting artistically not quite knowing where I was going with my photography and decided to try a personal project. I decided that as we had beautiful weather I was going to go and explore the beaches of the Wirral, choosing Thurstaston, West Kirby, Hoylake and New Brighton as these were the beaches I knew best. Over a month I went out and photographed during the harshest of light knowing this was the time most photographers chose not to photograph in. I wanted to see how it would affect the images I made and to be fair I didn't feel it made much difference. Each image has been taken using the same technique, purposefully over exposing each image and shooting in a square crop. I then created three presets in Adobe Lightroom and edited the images in the same way.
