Quiet scenes of cliffs, clouds and coastal paths on the fastest eroding coastline in Europe
Eventually however, Miechowski grew bored of making work in the city and decided to turn his attention to Britain’s east coast. “I grew up in Lincolnshire and spent a lot of time on the east coast, places in Norfolk and Yorkshire. I thought it’d be nice to travel the coastline, from the south and drive all the way up north. Just as an exercise really, to make images,” he explains. “I actually thought it was going to be a little dull, as a landscape, but it was really fruitful.
The first door he knocked on led to a particularly profound exchange. “This guy’s dad had died, and we had a really deep, three-hour chat about losing things, things shifting and changing continuously. He was living in this upturned boat on what was essentially a sand dune, due to disappear.” Despite reservations, Miechowski made his firstportrait of the man who he remains in touch with today, although it doesn’t appear in the final series. “When I look at it, I can’t remove the story.
Recently exhibited at Photo London, the project claimed Miechowski the Photo London X Nikon Emerging Photographer of the Year prize, which he describes mostly as a nice experience. “Doing photography, making art, it can be a series of disappointing events often, so [awards] are a little green light to know that it’s at least registering,” he notes. “For me, it was a great way to introduce the work to people, but it’s not finished at all.
