Poppit Sands Gallery Four 2007 - 2015
Poppit is a small scattered community on the most northerly coast of Pembrokeshire. The homes and farms are dotted along the coast around the beach - Poppit Sands. A number of these homes are even located on the beach itself, in amongst the high dunes, hidden away from the outside world. All that can be seen of them are small wind turbines and puffs of smoke from wood burners.
Over 1000 years ago the remote beach was used for fishing by the medieval monks located at St. Dogmaels Abbey - just over 1.5 miles away. At low tide the beach reaches out almost to Gwbert across the bay. This is called the Cardigan Bar. This is where I photograph.
Awards won for the project include 3 Hasselblad Masters Finalist places (2008, 2009 & 2010) and the Chris Beetles Award in 2013.
The work has been exhibited in London, Hong Kong, Copenhagen, Berlin, Los Angeles, New York and Beijing as part of the Hasselblad Masters Tour.
