Or, Not Saved.

The North Sea is historically known as the Morimaru, the sea of the dead: an inhospitable and ice-strewn threshold between the living world and the afterlife, skirted by barren and otherworldly landscapes. Deathsong is a three-part collection of colour photography that centres upon the deconstruction of form and focus, drawing inspiration from the harsh coastline it portrays.

The title is taken from the Sigur Rós track Dauðalagið; the song of death.

I am charmed by the fog, the detail.. sigur rós would likely come to my mind even without the title. I will take a better look at your work.

Ah, thank-you for that; when I was a kid I used to dream about making cover art for a living, so it's good to know that any of my work could be deemed appropriate for such.

It's like looking at an alien world. I really like the play in scale in this series, but you know that 'cause I keep telling you so.

Awesome to see some new work of yours, you certainly haven't left me disappointed. I love this, not just for the mystique and the fact that the overall feeling is of holding your breath, but it also holds an illusion. To me, it appears that this picture is either taken from high up a cliff or from a normal perspective. Thank you for sharing...

Thank-you; I'm glad that an element of mystery has translated through; fog on the shore at dawn is that sort of experience.
