James Meakin, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

This editorial portrait captured by photographer James Meakin in Cape Town features a close-up angle of a blonde woman partially submerged in bright turquoise water. She rests her arm near the water surface, with gentle ripples and refractions playing across her skin and the fabric of her dark swimsuit. Natural overhead lighting creates soft highlights on her shoulder and wet hair framing her face. The composition places a strong focus on texture, from the glistening water droplets on skin to the contrast between dark swimwear and bright blue surroundings.
