A calming view of The North Sea from a seaside shelter in Tynemouth, UK, winter light giving a golden glow and strong shadows. Photograph by Hazel Plater from the series, The Geordie Riviera, Winter 2024. The Geordie Riviera is an ongoing long-form series documenting day-to-day life on the North Tyneside, UK coast, through environmental portraiture, street photography and urban/beach landscapes. Featuring North Shields, Tynemouth, Cullercoats and Whitley Bay, the project is an exploration of people and place - considering community, investigating infrastructure and breathing in the fresh sea air.
