Man backflipping in shallow coastal waters under a bright sky with scattered clouds captured by Carter Smith

Carter Smith, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

An athletic man is captured mid-air executing a backflip above the shallow surf of a sandy beach. He wears patterned swim trunks and a dark vest or jacket that billows upward during the jump. The composition is vertically oriented, featuring an expansive sky filled with white cumulus clouds stretching across a pale blue expanse. Waves lap gently against his legs as he launches from the shoreline. Natural sunlight illuminates the scene, highlighting the motion and water spray kicked up from the shallow tide.
