Make the Most of the Coast Meetup

Make the Most of the Coast Meetup

Saturday 11 January
Eastney - 10pm - 2 Hours
Portsmouth Photography Group
Jon Mainwaring
A beach location is perfect for photography due to its raw, natural beauty and the variety of textures available. Elements like fishing boats, rusty chains, and debris add character and tell a story of time and nature's effects. These subjects, often weathered by saltwater and wind, offer incredible texture and contrast that can be accentuated through black and white photography. The rust on chains or the peeling paint on boats brings out rugged details, perfect for monochrome imagery, where shadows and highlights become more pronounced. Beach photography also allows for creative compositions, from close-up shots of decaying materials to expansive landscapes with a moody, atmospheric feel.

This is Smooch & Smudge who live in Greenwich London. They are 2 adorable sisters who belong to a friend of mine. They don?t often see eye to eye so I thought I would portray them as such in this watercolour.

Title or Location: A traditional Greek fishing boat
In July this year my husband and I visited our favourite Greek island Skiathos. This boat is one of the last traditional Greek fishing boats on the Island and we were lucky enough to go on a fishing trip with the owner and his brother, watching him fish & then enjoying eating the fresh catch of the day cooked on the boat.
