Coastal photography by Andrew Areoff

“Photography for me is about transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, the mundane into the evocative. I use the photographic medium to convey more than a mere record of a scene but instead to capture compelling, quirky and thought provoking images of a subject, a place and a time.

Light is fleeting and ever-changing. Wait for that spectacular light and more often than not it fails to materialise. Instead it creeps up on you unexpectedly and unpredictably. But when light and scene fuse together at the right time they render a scene of such hue, detail and texture that has to be captured before it is lost forever.

Such is the nature of outdoor photography, be it coastline, landscape, urban, or the minutiae of an environment – this is why I use a camera to encapsulate these moments.”
