About this work

Taking photographs and recreation: these two pastimes just begged to be combined. A day at the beach was the perfect opportunity to pull out the camera and capture the experiences with friends and family for posterity. It was almost a cliché. Amateurs could find examples of beach photographs in manuals and magazines and learned, for instance, not to take shots with backlighting.
