Stillwater and Light began as a simple idea: to document time spent on the bank and behind the camera, without rushing it or trying to turn it into something it isn’t.
Most of my fishing happens on still waters. Quiet lakes, early mornings, late evenings, and long pauses between moments of action. Occasionally I’ll head to the sea when tides and time allow, but the thread that runs through it all is the same observation, patience, and light.
Photography has become a natural part of that time. Not in a technical or commercial sense, but as a way of paying closer attention. Changing conditions, low winter sun, flat water, mist lifting, or the brief glow before everything fades. The camera simply helps me notice it more.
This isn’t a site about chasing numbers, records, or trends. It’s a place to write about real sessions, the things that work, the things that don’t, and the moments in between that often get overlooked. Sometimes that will include gear, sometimes photography, sometimes just the atmosphere of a day spent fishing.
Stillwater and Light is a journal first and foremost. Written slowly, from experience, and shaped by the water and the light that comes with it.
More soon.
