"The Shipping Forecast," by Mark Power, Magnum Photos, Member (since 2007).
Intangible and mysterious, familiar yet obscure, the Shipping Forecast is broadcast four times a day on BBC Radio 4. Power's photographs are a response to the clash between the pictures built up in his imagination since childhood and the reality of the places he found.
His photography project took four years to complete, and was exhibited 1997-1999.
