Dungeness Beach – Kent
Dungeness beach has held a special place in my heart since I was a teenager.
Overlooked by Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, that started its controversial and productive life the same year I was born, I’ve felt compelled to visit the area many times, firstly riding pillion on a mate’s motorbike, later in a friend’s VW Beetle, that got stuck on the beach: a group of us standing there scratching our heads, discussing how to get it out. Nowadays, the area is inhabited by a small group of artists and is a bleak nature reserve, technically classified as a desert. The brutalist power station is currently being decommissioned and the atmospheric, expansive shingle coastline, dotted with trawlers, old steel tracks and sheds, evokes loneliness, space and finality in my photographs. For me, it’s a photographer’s paradise.
