The River Within
Photographing the Thames from source to sea from a kayak
Come and share my journey along the Thames by kayak. With every picture taken from this small boat, you will get a unique and intimate perspective of the Thames.
From ancient and contemporary London, boats and buildings to riverbed art and misty sunrises. The familiar Thames is reframed seen from so close to the water. Even if you know the river, you’ll find something new to surprise you.
On our journey, we will explore beneath pontoons, inside tunnels, up tributaries and between houseboats. By sharing my intimate water level view, we see the changing London skyline coming into a new and sometimes startling focus.
Kayaking photography must be planned to work with the ever-changing tides, weird currents and waves created by wind blowing against the tide and wash from passing boats. Juggling these changing elements delivers constantly renewing opportunities to reveal hidden gems, as we look outwards from the River Within.
