At the beginning of summer, I had a very busy period driving up and down the country photographing three rivers across the UK. The first, the Tamar, was located on the border of Devon and Cornwall, the second, the Soar, up in Leicestershire, and the third, the Camlad, in the River Severn catchment area.
To set this in context, my client asked for images to illustrate the various uses of rivers and waterways in the UK - as they are actively working on the EU Water Framework Directive - a project reflecting the demand for cleaner rivers and lakes across the European Union.
Each of these waterways had its own peculiarities: difficulty of access to one, urban & industrial sprawl in the other, and lastly, a very fragmented tributary system in the third. Luckily, I had very good helping hands from the various river trusts to point me in the right direction(s), and the outcome is a very diverse set of images from these three - I won't bore you with all of them, a small pictorial selection should suffice.
