"It slowed me down, made me stop and have a look."
- Stephanie Wade explores The Peculiar and Beautiful Photography of Toby Coulson. "I am fascinated by the beauty and strangeness in the everyday," he says. "Nature, people and their influence on the landscape. To me the joy of photography is to wander with a camera, encountering unknown people and places ahead."
