The Perimeter on 15th March, 2023
by Quintin Lake


Event Details

The Perimeter was a journey of discovery based on walking 11,000km around the coast of Britain over five years, with a camera and tent. The aim of the project was to create a celebration of Britain’s diverse landscape from the fierce granite cliffs by Loch Nevis to the polite beach huts of Suffolk.

Editing the resulting images took a further two years of work, the very best of which will be shown in this talk.
