Beach Bums

This is my summer 2018 project. Beach Bums spawned out of:

1) A challenge to myself. I love working in the studio to create my work. I am able to exercise complete control over my subject, the lighting, angle of view/lens choice, and more. My process in creating this series relies on paying attention and the decisive moment.

2) A fascination with beach life and culture. Time slows down after one treks over the sand to reach the salty shore. Life is appreciated differently. I seek to examine this throughout this series.

Throughout this series, I am shooting color 120mm film (Ektar 100) in a Hasselblad with a 180mm lens.
