Moments…

Posted on August 11, 2017 by Sarah J Dow

We look so fine, so clear and swell, you’d never guess how deep the well of darkness, pain and itchy bad, that makes us in some moments sad. Love of friends is not the thing that stops such creeping suffering … Continue reading →

When a landscape IS a landscape... and oh, that soft winter light! 💙💙💙 #clevedonpier #landscapephotography #fineartphotography #onlocation #naturallight #handheld #notripodrequired #canonphotography

Where is the line between landscape photography and portraiture? If the voices in my head while I've been going over this shoot are anything to go by, it's a matter of interpretation - and as a viewer, you are gifted the freedom to decide for yourself. Or not - not everything *has* to be categorised and labelled. Ansell Adams said "you don't take a photograph, you make it". As the photographer, I made these two images as portraits: the setting - what you might call the 'landscape' - is a unique mixture of light and shape made with mist and water and sand... but look at the story you are seeing. In the first, a fisherman adjusts his line, another gazes, arms folded, quietly out to sea. A boy and his dog pass a third - do they speak? In the second, one of the fishermen has returned to his bag to retrieve - what, we wonder? This is a story of fisherfolk and beachfolk, unfolding on *this* morning as it will do again the next. There is laughter, hope, serenity... And yet - these portraits of people, doing their thing, in this place, in this light, in these moments, are now gone forever. These very human moments have passed. As the photographer, this is how I see, and the story I give you. But it is yours now, to see as you wish. I don't mind what you call it, but if it makes your heart move just a teensy bit, then you have felt something. That's enough for me. #environmentalportraiture #fineartportraiture #fineartphotography #onlocation #naturallight #canonphotography #editorial

I've never met a landscape that I didn't want to make a portrait in... Take this winter morning on the beach in Burnham-on Sea: the sun just catches the waters edge as it pushes weakly through the dense mist, lending a faint glow as an elderly couple stroll gently towards the camera. His walking stick, her handbag, their clasped hands and leaning slightly towards one another tells me a story of love and connection as they take a morning stroll I imagine they have done a thousand times over the years, oblivious to the exuberance of the large family now fading back into the fog behind them. There is peace in this portrait... it makes me happy :-) #environmentalportraits #portraitphotography #onlocation #naturallight #onthebeach

Just came across these I forgot to post on IG: remembering a fab all-female acoustic set last November at The Cafe in @the_civic_trowbridge, brought together by @zoebnewton and also featuring the talented @kirsty_clinch and Aisha B. So lucky to have such incredible #musicians on our doorstep! #livemusic #keepingitreal #country #folk #canonphotography #noflashrequired

Kids. Friends. Walks. Sunshine. And lunch, of course! #stuffoflife #keepitsimple #hny2020 #Shearwater #wintersunshine #canonphotography

KEEVILLIANS! Time to reflect on our lovely twinkly village and Advent Trail - Happy New Year everyone, see you on the other side! #AdventTrail2019 #villagelife #Keevillians #HNY2020 https://keevilvillage.com/information/gallery/advent-windows/

First non-cows milk I've tried that - at least after one cup - I'm up for seeing how I go the rest of the day with it. Tastes a bit like long life milk, but better. Will keep you posted! #morningcoffee #veganmilk #oatly #tryanythingonce #imnotvegan #buticareabouttheplanet

Keevillians! Images of our awesome drama group in action last weekend now live on keevilvillage.com/groups-service… -- #villagelife #keevilrocks #amdram #alldramaqueenshere #noflashrequired #canonphotography #tellingstories

It's raining. I'm editing. And getting very distracted thinking about beaches.... #bringbacksummer #rainraingoaway #workingnotworking #MudefordBeach

Spent the day scouting beach locations yesterday, the morning mist was a real gift - although mostly gone by the time I took these images at Burnham-on-Sea it's still creating a lovely quirky light. These children passed me as I was heading back to the car - completely lost in their own world, they were just the splash of colour I needed! #onlocation #onthebeach #naturallight #keepitreal #portraitphotography #familyphotography #childphotography #canonphotography #5D4
