Llandudno - Intimacy in the Waves
16 November, 2022
A lifestyle photography story shot at the amazing Llandudno beach in South Africa's Western Cape. This is all about real-life real-love, combining authentic intimacy with an oft-photographed setting of surfing.
Surf photography always brings its challenges - the winter temperature Atlantic ocean (and subsequent lack of 'surf') to name a few. But this shoot was attempting to forget about the technicalities and focus on capturing intimate moments within life. I rarely get the chance to shoot a real-life couple - the world of advertising photography brings with it so many forced scenarios where by job is to make things look natural that perhaps aren't - until the end of the shoot maybe. So my brief to the talent was to be as much themselves as they could possibly be infront of me. They didn't hold back so a big thank you to Christina and James for letting me in.
