Ethereal by Mark Cornick

In ththis episode of On My Bookshelf I take a look at Ethereal by Mark Cornick.

Ethereal is the result of an eight year exploration of abstract coastal photography using intentional camera movement. The book brings together two of Mark’s long term projects. Fathom, photographed on the far western coast of Cornwall, and Timeless Seas, created at West Wittering Beach.

A particularly engaging aspect of the book is the inclusion of Cornick’s field notes. Written while working on location, these short reflections provide context for the photographs and help build a stronger connection between the images and the coastal landscapes that inspired them.

The result is a thoughtful collection of abstract coastal photographs that encourages the reader to slow down and spend time with the work.

You can watch the full video below where I share a closer look at the book.
