Breaking Wave, Folkestone

A black and white 35mm film photograph capturing a wave crashing against a solitary concrete structure along the coast at Folkestone, UK. The moment of impact sends water upward in a dramatic burst, contrasting the solid, unmoving form beneath.

The composition balances motion and stillness, with the textured surface of the sea surrounding the central structure. Shot on analog film, the grain enhances the raw energy and tactile quality of the scene, giving it a timeless, almost sculptural presence.

This image reflects the force of nature meeting human form — a fleeting moment of tension, movement, and release.
