Today, on the longest day of the year, I Am Always Here is published.

It’s a hundred pages from the Blackwater Estuary, the tidal creeks, marshland and sea walls I’ve walked for as long as I can remember. I made the photographs on large and medium format film, often returning to the same stretch of shore over many months before I raised the camera.

The estuary is a landscape that will outlast all of us. That thought sits behind the whole book. It is a quiet place and it asks you to be quiet in return.

Gemma Padley has written the foreword, and I’m grateful to her for the care she brought to it.

This is a limited first edition of 200 copies, published under Son of the Horseman. Each copy is numbered, and signed copies are available. Some can be bought with a 10×8 print.

You can order a copy in the shop. Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered. Without you, this book wouldn’t exist. And to the others who helped, supported and inspired me along the way, you know who you are.
