Wednesday 26th June - Club Night with Speaker - Jonathan Genevaux - Waterscape Photography
https://jonathangenevaux.com/en/en-home/
Born on the West coast of France, Jonathan has built his professional photography career whilst travelling the world.
Settling in Bristol, Jonathan now has time to pursue a life-long fascination with waterscapes. He gets most of his inspiration from days spent on sand dunes and clifftops capturing wave breaks between intense sea sprays, or wading into icy lochs to capture light setting between storm clouds. He feels a body of water can change a landscape, from year to year or even hour by hour. Where water pushes its way between rock formations, and where the textures are frozen and the softened light becomes the focus.
