About us
Shona Perkins
Shona is an Abstract Photographer, specialising in Seascape and ICM Photography. Heavily influenced by contemporary art and abstract minimalism, Shona has spent the past few years developing her passion for intentional camera movement (ICM photography).
Technique is extremely important to Shona and whilst ICM photography demonstrates a certain creative freedom and experimentation, Shona applies a considered, focussed and disciplined approach to her work ensuring the best results are achieved in camera.
Often described as creating a sense of calm through her imagery, Shona manages to capture emotional depth, solitude, tranquillity and haunting beauty in her work, all whilst maintaining her distinctive painterly style.
Known as an inspirational leader and speaker, Shona also has a wealth of experience in coaching, mentoring and developing teams and loves nothing more than helping people reach their full potential.
Mark Cornick
Mark is a Surrey based photographer who specialises in working on abstract and contemporary landscape projects in Coastal locations.
Mark has always felt a strong connection to the Coast, especially the beaches of West Cornwall, which he first set foot on from the age of just two months old!
With Marks work, he aims to not only to showcase the beauty of the Coastline, but to also talk about the importance of these areas as places for personal reflection, tranquillity, and mental well-being.
Mark met Shona in 2023 and they went on to form a collaborative partnership running their first joint workshops at West Wittering beach in West Sussex in April 2024.
Participants have praised their complimentary coaching styles as well as their shared passion for ICM and abstract seascape photography.
