The images created by the East-Kent based Photographer, Jo Tammaro, pay homage to the often rugged beauty of the coastlines that can be found on three sides of her hometown. The sea plays an important role in her work and is often her subject- the sheer force of it as it crashes against harbour wall, or bay, or break-water, is a power Tammaro is keen to capture. The fact that she capture it's power so eloquently is testament to her skill as an image-maker.
"The sea plays an important role in her work and is often her subject- the sheer force of it as it crashes against harbour wall, or bay, or break-water, is a power Tammaro is keen to capture."
Interestingly, Tammaro sees another side to her favourite subject, a gentleness- the serenity of a calm sea, once inside the sanctity of The Royal Harbour at Ramsgate, as it nestles beneath the majestic yachts, shows a striking contrast with other images that portray an angry, passionate sea. This apparent dichotomy is enhanced by Tammaro's admiration of her subject, no matter what it's mood may be.
Tammaro's photographs have been well-received when exhibited at our venues and we look forward to showing more of her work in the coming months.
