We can and will pivot our Festival program online if required. We preempt any changes in health and travel advice with tried and tested strategies in place to ensure that all exhibitions will have not only viability but also visibility. This year's Festival will be a hybrid of online and in-person exhibitions and events. Several of our artists have gone on to exhibit their work at other world-renowned photo festivals. Our team works year-round to create and promote opportunities for your work to be seen - many leading industry professionals seeking new and emerging talents follow our successful model. This philosophy has allowed us to show diverse quality work that breaks the mould and exhibit all genres of photography by artists at all career stages. Our outstanding reputation stems from our guiding principle that every photo artist deserves a fair chance to show their work. Head On Photo Festival is a leading international photography festival.

The photographs are indicative of the coastline where they were shot and hopefully set the mood of the location. There are few man made piers or buildings to identify a location. The other feature of this gallery is that there is very often no sense of place.

Many will be from Yorkshire but an increasing number are not as I have found myself travelling further afield to experience the particular features of each area of the British coastline. This gallery contains my favourite coastal photographs. However, photographing waves and the sea always produces images with mood so it is well worth getting wet feet and the disappointment of water on the lens. I also have to be very aware of the level of the tide so I donвЂ™t get cut off from safety on the shore.

The other main problem is that the tide advances and retreats incredibly quickly so there is a limited time to capture each shot. Working on the coast is also demanding as you need to have the correct equipment with you before you start taking photographs as there is nowhere to put the camera bag. There may be a gentle swell with waves lapping the sand or the waves can be battered by the wind and the pull of the moon to produce monsters that rear up and engulf everything in their path. One would think that looking straight out to sea would produce the same view but every time I go to the coast it it different. I love itвЂ™s many moods and the relentless nature of the waves. Having spent a few years exploring many fabulous land based areas of the UK I find myself increasingly drawn to the coast andВ specifically the sea.
