Craig Ford, The Sands of Time – Wharariki Beach, New Zealand (B&W 2023)

The wild weather which frequents this exposed and remote West Coast beach results in an ever evolving seascape, particularly with regards to the movement, patterns and reflections created in its fine shifting sands. I wanted to document the changing textures of the sand at Wharariki Beach over the course of several days, with the beautiful and impressive Archway Islands as a focal point. I felt that black and white photography was the ideal media to effectively portray this story.
