Porthgwidden Dawn
The smallest and most sheltered of St Ives’ beaches, Porthgwidden is a little corner of magic on the west coast of Cornwall. Close to my home, it’s somewhere that I’ve been to on countless occasions to walk and take photographs. Having spent so much of my time on its shores and surrounding coastline, I’m well-versed in its moments and moods and understand the way the light hits the land here. That said, there’s still always something new to see and different perspectives to enjoy, for the photography print Porthgwidden Dawn, the sea and sky were once again working their magic.
Drawn outside with the dawn, I set out early one morning to capture the sunrise at Porthgwidden which was already brushing the sky in strong red hues. It wasn’t until after the sunrise, though, that the elements started working together to create something really special. With the sun presiding over the horizon, the light extended across the beach and lit up the shore and headland with a beautiful golden glow. At the same time, the sea, which was especially active, had created a sandy shelf on the beach which I hadn’t seen before. It was a truly enjoyable experience trying to capture the action of the breaking waves and the energy of the sea, all the while the remnants of the sunrise flecked the sky and added a richness and depth of colour. For me, the Porthgwidden Dawn photography print is all about action and the ephemeral moods of the coast.
