Glyn Richards
spent 36 years touring Cornwall's coastline as a member of the Cornwall
Fisheries team.
His
work, which involved enforcing fisheries legislation, brought him up
close with wonderful images depicting his career at sea.
His
collection, called Cornwall From The Sea, includes magnificent
close-ups of basking sharks and dolphins, as well as fishing vessels
that represent the ultimate in fishing power and beautiful images of
Cornwall's coastline from the sea.
Perhaps the most poignant of
his photographs are the images of men fishing alone at sea in their
little boats that capture the solitary essence of the industry.
"I always had my camera with me and I enjoyed taking pictures of the scenes that unfolded around me," said Glyn.
"The only way you could discuss it with anyone was to take the pictures."
