The lakes
A documentation of the English Lake District through photography and motion, exploring place, hospitality and the quieter moments in between.
The Landscape
Weather that rarely settles. Rain that gives way to sunshine. Low cloud lifts to reveal open water. A landscape changing constantly, rarely looking the same twice.
Beginning and ending in Windermere, the documentation follows a route through Ambleside, Rydal, Grasmere, Keswick and Ullswater, with Kirkstone Pass offering one of the region's most recognisable roads.
A familiar view of Britain, observed without interruption.
The Details
Between the valleys and open water are the smaller moments that give a place its character.
Cafés opening for the day. Boats returning to shore. Afternoon tea overlooking the lake. Weathered stone, passing conversations and changing light. The Lakes, observed one moment at a time.
The slow Afternoon
Afternoon tea at Storrs Hall looks out across Windermere, where changing light and weather remain a constant presence throughout the day.
Tea is poured, conversations continue and light shifts. Inside and out, the same rhythm settles over the afternoon.
