Along the tidal reaches of the River Severn, the ebbing water reveals its powerful influence. The exposed riverbank is transformed with each tide as strong currents shift mud, sand, and stones. This relentless motion carves out new shapes and contours, sculpting a terrain that is in constant flux. Debris settles for a time, only to be lifted and carried onward to
another place.

At Garden Cliff, an eroding wall of fossil-rich mudstone on a wide bend in the river, this story is written clearly in the land itself. Fragile rock crumbles and reforms with each tide, colours change, and surfaces fracture into unexpected patterns. I walk slowly along the cliff’s base, searching for small fragments of this shifting surface, patches no larger than a step across, where texture, form, and debris briefly come together.

These photographs are less about permanence than about presence. They mark a fleeting moment in the river’s perpetual cycle, holding still before the flow.

After The Tide is both a record of my ongoing encounter with the Severn and an invitation to pause, to notice what often goes unseen, and to celebrate change itself.

The Special Edition includes a signed and numbered A4 Giclée print of the cover image.
