"Photographing children is never easy (more so little boys), you can't ask them to stand still and the minute you ask them to smile at the camera its all over. But what they have in spades is lots of energy and exuberance, that is what I try to capture with my dawn photo sessions down the beach.
My early morning beach shoots are not about pretty portraits but about capturing the energy and the essence of what it means to be a small child. I love the strong backlight of the beach at dawn and the way the rising sun makes the surf luminous, rich blues, crunchy black silhouettes and the golden glow of the sun on the sand. I love the texture and scale of the ocean as a backdrop to a small child. I hope that in years to come the images will evoke memories of the surge of the sea, sand between your toes and the excitement and joy one feels being free without a care in the world chasing waves."
Thanks Giles and Vicky I hope you have a save trip back to the UK and that these photos when you look back on them in years to come bring back fabulous memories of your Australian holiday.
