Be There, Be Present

It’s May 2020. The UK has been in lockdown for over a month leaving many people feeling isolated and anxious. Photographer Nick Pumphrey turned to where he feels most at home – the sea. In May he dedicated to taking his camera in the sea for every dawn of the month, and sharing his experience each morning with ten photographs on Instagram. His ritual was known as #DawnDaysOfMay. Official Selection: Kendal Mountain Festival 2020.

My take

A intimate portrait of creative resilience during isolation. Photographer Nick Pumphrey shares 31 days of dawn rituals at the sea, transforming lockdown anxiety into meditative practice. For anyone seeking quiet inspiration and connection to nature.
