This photograph is actually in colour! I know it looks like a black and white conversion, but shooting into the light with such a high contrast subject has caused this to happen. If I pointed my lens away from the light you would see the blue sky, white surf and yellow sand.
This image is the start of another new project for me. I usually go out of my way to avoid people in my photographs, but I have decided to try and document the beaches of Gower being used by people, and not as some pristine environment without humans. I hope there will be a few more images coming over the summer, and if the weatherman is to be believed they may all be full of sunshine and blue skies! We’ll see!
