Farming Picos De Europa

As part of my ongoing interest in sustainable practice’s I visited Picos de Europa is a national park in the north of Spain a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The landscape is dramatic with steep hillsides and jagged peaks. The farming here is difficult and modern techniques are unsuitable. This was a rare opportunity to observe shepherding methods that have remained unchanged for centuries. The beautiful landscapes around them were thriving allowing a unique biodiversity that is no longer in existence due to modern method.

Miguel a shepherd, and his son invited me to see his flock and observe how he used dogs to protect his sheep from predators in the are such as Wolves. He explained how the dogs were put INTO the flock from puppies, introducing the dogs to the flock at such a young age left the dogs believing they were part of the flock and so protected them instinctively. In return for their service every couple of days he checked on the flock and fed the dogs.

Brighton Swimmers

For over a century, the Brighton Swimming Club has been a beacon of tradition and resilience, with open water swimming as its core. It is a testament to the unyielding spirit of its members, who, day after day, brave the frigid waters, powerful tides, and the early morning chill.

This collection of portraits showcases the women of the Brighton Swimming Club, not just as athletes, but as individuals. Each image reveals their unique character, their inner strength, and the profound connection they share with the sea.

Sea Haze Fish

As part of a larger body of work documenting sustainable producers, I have been joining Neil on his small boat Peter II, in Brighton Marina. Neil catches whatever is in season for a low impact sustainable practice. Sea Haze originates from a longstanding fishing family, that is traced back to 1580. Along with fishing, they were also involved with the selling of fish, shellfish and have a beach hut still on Brighton Beach.
