Morgan, 34, who grew up in Peel, said their proposal was to take photos of the Manx landscape in light during each seasonal phase, such as the summer solstice and winter equinox contained in the Celtic Wheel.

“A lot of what we wanted to show is the Isle of Man in a different way than is normally shown.

“A lot of the way the island’s usually shown is really sunny – it’s not like that, it’s quite a wild place, it’s very wild in the hills.

“Within 15 minutes, you could be on the peaks of our hills, on the beach or a rocky cliff – there’s so much on your doorstep”, he said.

The pair said the unique natural diversity of the just 227 square-mile island, made a great canvas for photography.

Kaneen, 36, said: “I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere other than the Isle of Man.

“There’s beauty in the crooked trees you come across and the rolling mist – we are part of nature.

“If you live here, you learn that and live with it”, said the photographer who grew up in Glen Vine and has a long family link to the island.
