Cameron Hanks, A day at the beach (TRAVEL 2025)

A recent family holiday called for a spot of travel photography. If I'm completely honest, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to capture at the time. But it soon appeared in the form of these nicely positioned umbrellas on a quiet stretch of beach. The light, airy tones and balance of negative space evoke calmness. And the vibrance of colors, whether from the umbrellas or the boats, introduces interest without disturbing the tranquil vibe, giving a feeling of escape and relaxation in a coastal paradise.
