London from a kayak.
Ancient and contemporary London, from 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 will find something new to surprise you.
As I am used to working in, on and underwater, I take us 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 the wind blowing against the tide and wash from passing boats. Juggling these ever-changing elements delivers constantly renewing opportunities to reveal hidden gems, as we look outwards from the River Within.
