North East & Northumberland Fine Art Photography – The Gallery Art Hub and Studios
Journey through the dramatic coastline and rural charm of Northumberland and the North East. Captured in soft light and rich detail by fine art photographer Simon Wood, this collection reflects the wild beauty of the region’s seascapes and heritage.
“Bamburgh Sunrise” – A golden dawn rises over the Northumberland coast, casting warm light across the sea as Bamburgh Castle stands in silhouette. Gentle waves roll over ancient rock, smoothed by long exposure, creating a calm yet powerful seascape. A timeless moment from one of Britain’s most iconic coastal views.
“Relentless Shore” – Off the rugged Northumberland coast, waves surge and fold over dark volcanic rock as Dunstanburgh Castle rises against a heavy sky. Captured with long exposure, the motion softens to a silk-like flow, drawing the eye toward the ruined fortress. A powerful blend of movement, texture, and medieval history carved into the coastline.
“Tide and Fortress” – Stormlight breaks across the Northumberland coast as waves spiral into shore beneath Bamburgh Castle’s watchful presence. The moody sky and sweeping tide are softened by long exposure, pulling the eye across wet sand, fractured rock, and out toward the iconic silhouette. A coastal scene where light, motion, and history meet.
“Stillness and Storm” – Beneath a brooding sky on the Northumberland coast, a rock pool catches a fleeting patch of light while Bamburgh Castle holds firm on the horizon. Captured with long exposure, the clouds stretch into motion while the sea rests in still silence — a rare moment of calm between weather and tide.
“Charlie’s Garden” – Off the rugged shore of Collywell Bay, a lone sea stack stands as the tide laps in soft waves across sculpted rock. Captured at sunset using long exposure, the scene glows with warm coastal light and misted motion, blending geology and atmosphere into a dreamlike seascape.
“Reflections at Cawfields” – Golden light washes over the dramatic cliffs of Cawfields Quarry as still water mirrors the sky. Framed by autumn colour and bold geological lines, this peaceful Northumberland landscape reveals quiet symmetry in nature’s design — captured with clarity, calm, and perfect reflection.
“Path to the Sea” – Polished rock and rolling tide draw the viewer toward Charlie’s Garden, the iconic sea stack of Collywell Bay. Captured under streaking clouds with long exposure, this scene layers geology, motion, and light into a timeless coastal perspective, carved by time and tide.
“Northern Lights at St Mary’s” – A rare display of the aurora borealis dances over St Mary’s Lighthouse on the Northumberland coast. The night sky glows green and violet as stars pierce the darkness, while the wet causeway reflects the lighthouse beam. A once-in-a-lifetime moment, captured in stillness and light.
