Darth Marty Media was commissioned by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park as part of a wider National Parks UK project, with a brief that went far beyond simply photographing beautiful Pembrokeshire scenery. The aim was to capture National Parks as active, purposeful places – where people connect with the landscape, discover its history, volunteer, learn, work and enjoy everything these extraordinary spaces have to offer.

Across three days and very different locations and activities, I worked predominantly in a candid, documentary style, looking for real moments rather than manufacturing them. From conservation work and families discovering the coast, to archaeological excavations at Castlemartin and objects being uncovered after hundreds of years, the resulting collection became as much about the people within the landscape as the landscape itself.

The six photographs shown here are simply a handful of my personal favourites from the wider collection delivered to the Park. They're not necessarily the best six – I'll leave that judgement to somebody else – but each caught my eye for a different reason. One in particular captures the juxtaposition of a centuries-old piece of pottery being examined alongside the modern technology being used to document it. It's a tiny, completely unplanned moment, but exactly the sort of detail I love finding with a camera in my hand.

Sometimes the photographs I love most aren't necessarily the obvious ones. They're the little moments, expressions and details that tell you something about the people, the work and the place – and this was a project absolutely full of them.
