Jake Stangel, Photographer, San Francisco

Description

This portrait photograph by Jake Stangel captures two figures preparing for a surf session near a coastal concrete wall at sunset. A woman on the left adjusts her colourful wetsuit featuring orange and turquoise panels, while a man on the right holds a jacket with a bright pink accent over a white t-shirt and dark trousers. A vibrant red surfboard rests flat on the concrete pavement below, accompanied by gear bags, a surfboard fin, and discarded footwear. The warm, low-angled evening light bathes the entire scene in a golden glow, reflecting off the horizon where the sandy beach meets the water. The composition emphasizes a candid, atmospheric moment by the shore in San Francisco.
