"I would explore the creeks and saltflats looking for likely landscapes to photograph. Occasionally I would  stumble across an abandoned ship's hull,stripped of its planking with only its ribs remaining. I had found my subject. They epitomized the wild, otherworldliness that attracted me to these areas. Object, sky and land became one and I began to search them out. "

John Whitfield will be exhibiting his 'Beached' photographs  at the Palace Art and Craft Fair 16-20th May with Renée Pfister Consultancy
