About

This black and white photograph captures a person crouching low on a pebble-covered beach with the ocean visible in the background. The subject is wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with bold lettering across the chest, pulled up to partially shadow the face, along with chunky platform boots featuring chain details. Textured embellishments are tied around the wrists, adding a tactile element to the composition. The natural daylight creates high-contrast monochrome tones across the scene. Photographed by Clare Shilland, the image has a raw, documentary-style aesthetic.
