Documentary Fiction Photography - Steve Coel '...creating innovative+challenging images...' Gallery Reviews, 2024. All images are available as photographic prints. Visits to the studio+gallery by invitation only.
Working on the Arfordir Byw series of posters has allowed me the opportunity to meet some really talented and creative people. In North Wales, down to Pembrokeshire, along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset and the North Sea coast. Beach artists, 'the' storm chasers, the crazy night time surfers...the plastic foragers.

In making my sculptures I generally just followed the lead of what I saw and heard. Some were really massive, smashed by storms and lost.

On the North Sea coast the sculptures I was able to make were no less dramatic. Although the materials I found on the beaches here I thought reflected a different coastal environment.
