Absolutely loved creating the visuals for this beautiful album 😍

One of my favourite things about working with Lauren for the visuals on her album was learning the history behind the tracks and their locations! What a beautiful tune 💙

For the next little while I’m going to be photographing people round Scotland’s coast. If you live on the coast and the sea is a big part of your life/work/dreams, or know someone coastal with a story to tell relating to the sea and its past/present/future, let me know. Thanks!

✨ Delighted Haar has entered the Official Folk Album Chart at No. 15! Proud of this self-released/funded/promoted album and so pleased it is reaching people ✨ Find Haar here: lnk.to/haar Official Charts English Folk Expo
