It’s not obvious at first, but there is something artificial in every photograph here. From the imported golden sand in Southerness to the bus stop in Whitley bay, from the wave breakers in East Lothian to the ‘no diving’ sign by the white cliffs at Broadstairs. Someone described the image of Black Rocks in Eyemouth as sombre, which is a perfect, simple description of Marcus Doyle’s work, you can almost see the silence.
Here is a body of work which has taken four years to complete that is both a reflection on the beauty of the four thousand miles of coastline that surrounds Great Britain, and of the imprint people have made on it. Marcus captures his images in the twilight hours regardless of the weather, when the rest of us are at our least active, taking pictures with exposures so long they still storms, he captures human traces without judgement , he tunes into the world that surrounds us and presents us with images that hold a beauty we will never notice. He is a master of the landscape.
