James Midwinter's photography transcends the mere depiction of surfing; it delves into the temporal and spatial dimensions surrounding it. Rather than imposing a narrative, his work seeks to suggest, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the ambiance he captures. Midwinter endeavors to evoke a profound sense of place, encouraging individual interpretation and response. Within his imagery, one is prompted to relinquish the distractions of contemporary life and surrender to the scene, engaging in observation, inhalation, and imaginative immersion. Enveloped by the auditory tapestry of the rolling sea or the serene tranquility of still waters, viewers are beckoned to participate in the moment. In his own words, Midwinter articulates, "I believe my photography not only reflects my perspective on the world but also endeavors to instigate a shift in the viewer's perception... prompting them to cherish fleeting instants, such as the formation of sand underfoot or the caress of coastal breezes." His objective is not merely to document, but to facilitate a transformation in how individuals experience their surroundings, urging them to embrace the nuances of existence. Through his lens, Midwinter unveils surfing as more than a recreational pursuit; it emerges as a conduit for profound communion with nature. His book serves as a manifestation of this philosophy, inviting readers into a realm where human existence harmonizes with the rhythms of the natural world. The act of awaiting a wave becomes a meditative practice-an opportunity to attune oneself to the essence of being.
James John Midwinter is a British artist living and working in Cornwall. Upon moving to Cornwall in 2015 his passion for art and photography was reignited by the energy of the coast, and he set about capturing the feelings and emotions of surfing and the landscape around him.
