CRUISING ADVENTURE
The end of a beautiful 2018 summer’s day on the River Thames during the Henley Regatta.
This charming photography of a yacht serenely tethered to a mooring post was shot in the Meditteranean. Idyllic, peaceful and calming, Haker transports the viewer into the blissful high-summer at sea. The image is titled after the name of the boat, Lutte – whose name can be seen etched into the wood.
The river Rhône is a stunning location for fishing. Since the crack of dawn, the fishermen have been in their boat, silent and motionless, waiting for the right moment to catch the elusive Pike. Pion captures this scene in soft cold glow of mid-winter, as the trees remain naked without leaves and a low fog shrouds the mid-distance
This forty-two-metre classic twin-masted schooner, Mariette, was originally built by Herreshoff in the USA in 1915. A prize-winning boat, it still competes at many races. With its sales billowing majestically, this stunning black and white shot captures her in all her majesty.
A stunning image of the river Alor Setar in Malaysia, Lin captures the expansive sense of water and the majestic power of nature. The hazy sky covers the scene in a warmly yellow light of early morning as the local fisherman Pak Abu sets up his fishing nets along the river.
Roots has spent much time in Venice photographing its stunning architecture and observing its unique culture. Here, he takes the subject of its singular travel system: the gondola. This close-up evokes the romanticism with which the gondolas are so often associated with.
Shot from the vantage point of Hammersmith Bridge, this is a quintessential shot of an iconic south London vista at the home of rowing. Taken just before sunset, using very slow shutter speed, the rowing boat takes on the elegance of a swan as it drifts towards the setting sun.
Hall captures both the romanticism and mystery of rowing a boat across a lake shrouded in fog. Half-camouflaged by the low cloud, the boat floats indeterminately, devoid of time and place.
Newton loved the romanticism of the water and spent much of his career in Monte Carlo. ‘Winnie on Deck’, also known as ‘Cruising from behind’, shows Newton at his overtly sexual best.
