Mud|Sand… a notation that appears frequently on the Ordnance Survey map of the Bristol Channel. It is also a pretty succinct description of the coast here.

When the sediment rich waters of Britain’s longest river merge with a sea that is subjected to the second largest tidal range in the world, it is inevitable that some remarkable coastal landscapes are formed.

This series of photographs explores the unusual and often maligned aesthetic of a coastline defined by miles of mudflats and salt marsh. It is a landscape rich with patterns that are constantly remoulded by tidal forces, and wet surfaces that reflect whatever drama is being played out in the skies above.

James Osmond
James is an award winning professional landscape photographer. He produces stock photography for Getty Images and Alamy; two of the world’s leading image libraries, as well as commissioned photography for outdoor magazines such as BBC Countryfile and The Great Outdoors. In 2014, he won the Sunday Times Magazine award in the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. His recent obsession with the aesthetics of mud has led some to speculate that he was in fact a hippo in a previous life. He lives in Bristol with his wife and three children.
