@joshua.bilton. My last day of instagram takeover @photoworks_uk. I’ve Really enjoyed sharing my work with you all and a huge thanks for the interest you’ve shown. First I thought I would share a few more work in progress images from a series of coastal walks I’ve been making. Some written fragments and words have stuck with me along the way. ‘What is the word for wordless’ Alice Oswald, Falling Awake. ‘Before their bodies too were cast as gaps in the shape of their own’ Holly Corfield Carr, Subsong. #instagramtakeover #photoworks_uk #photography #joshuabilton #landscapephotography
