Sense Of Place
This project came about just after the lockdown laws eased and people started coming to Sidmouth to enjoy the sea. The backdrop is the shelter on Sidmouth’s esplanade. It captures a sense of Sidmouth and celebrates the variety of people who come to admire the view, take stock, connect with friends and family.
The use of the same location on repeat conveys a sense of why this place is special for so many.
Sarah was inspired to create her montage of images as people were emerging from their isolation:
I would walk my dog along the seafront with my camera and stop to see who was in the shelter. I am naturally interested in people and I enjoyed hearing why families and friends had come to SidmouthSarah Hall
