Joan-Marie Abley/ Music

She began photography at 12 with a Kodak Instamatic and has been drawn to it ever since. Growing up by the sea in Poole, Dorset, she developed a lasting fascination with the UK coastline. Her work explores the interplay of light, colour, and changing conditions to evoke a strong sense of place. Shooting mainly at dusk in winter, she captures fleeting moments shaped by weather and tide. By deliberately moving the camera, she creates atmospheric, painterly images that feel unique and unrepeatable.
