Picture/Story

He is one of the most celebrated landscape photographers in the world and art critics have described Charlie Waite's instantly recognisable prints as 'rare perfections of light, colour and composition which offer the viewer a luxuriant portrait of a planet at peace and one where mankind and his activities are in harmony with his surroundings'. But did you know what a charming and eloquent writer Waite is too? Here we enjoy the story behind one of Waite's more unusual photographs within his archive, East of Gibraltar, Spain, 2017, and his clever use of a limited colour palette. 'I acquired an early edition for my own collection and have loved living with this stunning print in my hallway at home. I adore this sea blue!' Luke Whitaker.  BUY
