Claire and I went for a very cold walk along the Seaford coast, East Sussex on a very chilly winters today. Despite the cold and the grey skies, I decided to try and get a few shots.
Since getting back in to photography, Claire & I have been spending time looking at other photographers, learning as much as we can about the latest techniques etc. One of my favourite photographers is James Popsys who also has a YouTube channel. James Popsys – YouTube. I really like James unique style of photography, especially his “street” photography which often contains people going about their lives. I’ve started calling this type of photography “life photography” and I find it fascinating.
Whilst out walking along Seaford sea front, there were many people out doing the same thing. So I decided to try some “life” photography for myself.
The feature image is probably my favourite image of the walk, showing people walking along the shingle beach towards the cliffs in the background.
The next photo was of a person and their dog, sitting on the shingle looking out across the English channel. I like how just as clicked the shutter the dog looked over at me. Even on a very cold blustery grey day, man’s best friend is still there by our side.
My final photo (below) is of a couple of locals fishing with the Newhaven breakwater stretching out into the channel with the small lighthouse visible at the end. I feel this captures a typical Sunday along the south coast. For as long as I can remember I’ve always seen locals fishing in this way. So it seemed only right to document it.
Keep seeing the world through the eyes of a lens. Until next time,
Ben
