Dawnstalkers Photography Book
Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, United Kingdom
Aim
To fund the first edition photography book celebrating early mornings, cold water, and the community that formed around chasing sunrise.
📸 The Project
In 2021, James stood at Penarth Seafront with a camera and a curiosity - capturing the quiet beauty of dawn and the people who showed up to meet it. Four years later, Dawnstalkers has become so much more than a series of photographs. It’s a movement. A mindset. A magical community of people who rise early, connect with nature, and support one another - all before most of the world wakes up.
Now, we’re bringing those moments together in one beautifully designed photography book, documenting the first 4 years of Dawnstalkers.
This is your chance to be part of it.
📖 What You’re Funding
