The sun. The moon.
The first full moon of the year, the Wolf Moon here in the northern hemisphere, and the fourth supermoon in a row. Rising above the hills and moors of the Peak District as the sun set, seen from the Cat & Fiddle Inn. At 515 metres above sea level, the highest altitude distillery in the UK.

Luke Watkins / Hell & High Water
A portrait series for the Summer issue of @afrmag . Originally printed in colour, shared here in my own black and white edit
Meeting Luke was a privilege. Listening to his story of survival, as a father and a husband, guided how these photographs were made. Slowly. Carefully. In layers.
Strength, vulnerability, and what it means to endure. I hope I’ve done him justice
During the 2024 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Luke was swept overboard at around 3am in extreme conditions, alone in the Tasman Sea for close to an hour before being found and brought back aboard
The accompanying story by Tony Davis explores why people are drawn to danger at sea, and when that danger turns real.

Love always

The Miena Cider Gum (Eucalyptus gunnii subsp. divaricata) is found only here in the Central Highlands, a critically threatened species surviving against all odds, just
