Sentinels
In the quiet thresholds, between sky and stone, wind and stillness, the land begins to speak. Not in grand declarations. In presence. In form shaped slowly by time, and held without need for attention.
The Sentinels series gathers trees that have bent without breaking. Tors weathered into stillness. Peaks that rise not to dominate, but to dwell. They do not ask to be seen. Yet, once seen, they are not easily forgotten.
Each figure stands alone. Yet each belongs to a greater rhythm.
Each chapter offers a different kind of watching.
A meditation on groundedness. On what it means to hold one’s place.
Chapter One: Standing Quiet
Lone Trees of the Peak District in Winter
In the high moorlands of the Peak District, when snow covers the land and the light becomes pale and weightless, trees take on a deeper presence.
Stripped of foliage and isolated by distance, each one appears not just as part of the landscape, but as a figure within it. Shaped by weather, time, and silence.
Standing Quiet is a winter portrait series: four lone trees, each embodying a different form of stillness. Captured in moments of deep cold and thick fog, these images invite reflection. Not only on the landscape, but on endurance found in solitude.
Standing Quiet is close to selling out. A handful of small-format prints are still available — once gone, the edition will close.
Chapter Two: High Silence
Where Land Meets Sky
Above, where the trail narrows and peaks draw close, mountains rise like monuments. They do not invite so much as endure.
Shaped by storm and season: where silence carries weight, and time is marked by the fleeting touch of light across rock. Cloud clings to ridge. Water threads through stone. A single beam strikes the slope and vanishes in a breath.
Among the worn heights of Snowdonia, the ancient bones of the Cairngorms, and the stark silhouettes of the Lake District fells, each summit holds its own quiet authority. Wind-scoured and patient. Rooted in bedrock, yet stretching skyward.
High Silence is a chapter of presence and scale. A portrait of the land at its most sculptural. Painterly. Vast. Always still, even in motion.
