The working landscape



Landscape photography to many people consists of sweeping vistas of mountains, lakes or beaches - and in an alarming number of cases - oversaturated images by overenthusiastic (or reckless) post processing. Known as 'chocolate box' photography it is understandably popular, if somewhat unrealistic, but there are also those sparse, gritty images that are equally valid of the genre.

Dungeness, on the Kent coast, is a favourite location of mine for shooting the working landscape, and although moving just a few feet to my left would have isolated the derelict boat as the main subject I choose to include the nuclear power station that dominates the area.
