Paul Greeves’ photographs capture the understated drama and quiet eccentricities of England’s coastline. Working exclusively in black and white, the East Anglian draws out the textures of stone walls, the character of Cromer Pier and the atmosphere of a beach frequently veiled in sea mist. A Photographic Technician by trade, he employs a range of vintage cameras and film stocks such as Ilford's HP5 Plus and Kentmere Pan 400 to create images that capture fleeting moments with lasting impact.

“Norfolk is renowned for its unspoiled coastline and natural beauty,” he notes, and his work serves as both tribute and testament to that reputation.
