In 2010 I bought a Polaroid camera with the 600 series film to take on my honeymoon... It was fantastic having the instant picture that we all grew up with, remembering how we as a family covered the fridge with polaroid images.

This sowed the seed for an idea to photograph the British coast in Polaroid. I got a SX70 and the last boxes of film from Polaroid and off I went.

For the first time in ages people would smile at me rather than the usual glare people give when a camera is pointed at them. People would stop and talk about what I was doing.

The images were published in a book called Seaside polaroids by Prestel in 2013.
