Noel Clegg began his photographic journey as a traditional landscape photographer, inspired by the beautiful landscapes of the North of England. However, being London based and only able to access these locations on rare occasions, he turned his attention to Kent and Sussex.
This presented Noel with a challenge, as he found the landscape was not as diverse nor provided the splendour that he was initially drawn to. As with most landscape photographers, he is instictively drawn to water and therefore studied the coastline of this area closely. He soon discovered that it had an abundance of manmade structures, which allowed him to create unique, atmospheric and compelling images of subjects that may otherwise go unnoticed or be taken for granted.
Noel will be the first to admit that photography is a journey; he started taking a serious interest in his art in 2008 trying many different styles of photography. In early 2010 he began experimenting with long exposure photography and soon recognised that he could be more creative and produce a visionary piece of fine art from a landscape, rather than simply capturing a moment in time.
