Immersion

This project is about wellbeing and connecting with nature. We are all guilty of getting caught up in work, feeling burnt out or not taking time for ourselves. This book is all about the people who take time for themselves and put it as an important priority in their busy schedules. I photographed in several different locations and this book focuses on community cold water swimming groups at Avon Beach and Taplow Lake. Whilst talking to these strangers about why they choose to start their day with a dip, or make sure that they swim at least once a week no matter how busy they are, I discovered a key reason for the growing popularity of this activity is to feel grounded, connected with nature and the still, relaxed mind that they feel post cold-water swim.
