Behind The Lens:
Each summer, the sculpted sandstone island of Noss, Shetland, hosts more than 22,000 Northern Gannets which return to breed on the ledges carved by the elements. As I stood in a small boat in turbulent sea swell at the foot of the towering cliffs, I noticed the perfect pair, isolated on a lower ledge, intertwining their necks and framed by streaks of guano. I immediately saw potential, and realising my vision would be tricky, anxiously awaited the few seconds that the boat aligned with the rocks, hoping for a chance. Everything came together - the courting Gannets drew up against a dark hollow on the guano-painted curves of sandstone and I got my shot, enhancing the complementary shapes in black and white.
