It’s hard not to fall in love with Cornwall. For some it’s the happy memories of a childhood seaside holiday. For others it’s the brief fling of a teenage summer. For most it’s a passionate affair that lasts a lifetime.
Located in the far west of Great Britain on a peninsula tumbling into the vast Atlantic ocean, almost completely surrounded by the sea, a magnificent coastline wraps around Cornwall for almost 300 miles. Cornwall is also the location of mainland Great Britain's most southerly promontory, The Lizard, and one of the UK’s most westerly points, Land's End, while a few miles off shore and even further west is an archipelago of tiny islands that make up the Isles of Scilly.
For this project I wanted to capture the stereo typical colurs that are always depicted in paintings of Cornwall. Some of you may recognise the style here with the famous Cornish artist John Miller and that is exactly what I wanted to achieve. Of course us Cornish folk all know that unless you have an amazing summers day/evening that this site is rarely seen and really the wind and rain/fog is actually more common than the sunny scene. However we do have amazing summer days and when the sun shines Cornwall truly does feel like the picture depicted above.
