Research landscape/environmental photographers

Marc Wilson

Marc Wilson is one of my favourite documentary landscape photographers. He creates visually beautiful landscape pieces in an informative, historical way. 

The Last Stand (images below)
Award winner at 2012 Terry O’Neill Awards.
Strudland Bay, Dorset 2011




































Lossiemouth, Scotland 2011





































Lossiemouth, Moray, Scotland 2011


































Wissant, Nord-Pas-De-Calias, France 2012

These images are from a set of 44 taken between 2010 and 2013. 

They reflect and document some of the physical remnants of the Second World War on the coastlines of the British Isles and northern Europe, Focusing on military defence structures that remain and their place in the shifting landscape that surrounds them. 

I like how they were not digitally manipulated in any way, but the longer exposure time really gives the first image that haunted, historic effect. 


As well as 'The Last Stand' project, Marc also created a 'Abandoned' project. 































These images were taken in 2003 and 2004, taking a glimpse at now abandoned locations of social and historical interest.
