Atkinson's latest book, Held Here by Silence, continues the visual journey of his debut book, bringing together luminous black-and-white images and intimate, journal-like prose. Through a series of distinctive bird portraits, he captures fleeting moments of stillness and presence.

““Everything is worth observing, from the natural world to everyday objects, from the elegant flight of a songbird to urban decay exploration. To capture these things in a photograph or sound recording, to create an image from nothing, has been my lifelong work and passion. I am always looking.””
