Clayton Cotterell, Photographer, Portland

Description

An intimate portrait of a couple smiling at each other on a sandy beach during sunset, captured by photographer Clayton Cotterell. The man on the left wears a striped long-sleeve top, while the woman on the right wears a dark top with her hair styled in braids. Warm golden sunlight catches the contours of their figures, producing a bright lens flare near the centre of the frame. The background consists of a flat sandy shore fading softly into the evening light. The composition emphasizes natural interaction and genuine emotion under atmospheric backlighting.
