"A couple’s weekend in the hills goes off-track when they have to share a walkers’ hut with an eccentric resident."
This project was a unique challenge shooting almost entirely with natural light on a remote fell in Cumbria with minimal crew. It was a great chance to return to the landscape photography I'd developed during my time shooting documentaries but this time with a more delibrate style.
