Capturing the Light, Head of the Meadow Beach

The day I was shooting at the Head of the Meadow beach, the sky and water seemed to collapse into each other. Through the camera lens, the provided a single backdrop of gray, one blending seamlessly into the other. The horizon utterly disappeared. The bathers seemed to float in space, their bodies truncated in odd places. I particularly loved the way the paddle boarders cut silently through the water. And yet, for all of the gray sky and gray water, the sun was strong enough to cast pronounced shadows. It reflected on the bodies of the beach-goers, abstracting them into intense plays of light and dark.
