After an eighteen year career in the entertainment business in music artist management, photographer Andrew Haydon moved to a village near Bridport in West Dorset in 2018 where he focused on the abundant wildlife and stunning landscapes that Dorset has to offer. Developing his own style, he enjoys harnessing Dorset’s wonderful light and particularly how it can be interpreted in black and white photography.

Andrew will be returning to the Malthouse Gallery for a further solo exhibition in 2025. In this collection he will explore the quiet enduring presence of trees and the landscapes they inhabit. The images emphasize texture, contrast and form, revealing the raw essence of nature. Each photograph tries to capture moments of stillness and is an invitation to pause, to see beyond the obvious and to find beauty in simplicity. It is a meditation on nature’s quiet strength and a reflection on the delicate balance between permanence and change.

The exhibition runs from Friday 11 until Thursday 17 April and is open daily from 10am until 4pm. Entry is free of charge.
