James Meakin, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

This monochrome fashion photograph by James Meakin, captured in Cape Town, focuses tightly on the lower back and waist of a model wearing swimwear. The dark fabric of the swimwear and skin are speckled with fine grains of sand, creating a textured contrast against the pale sandy surface below. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes the organic textures of sand and fabric. The intimate framing highlights the tactile qualities of the scene without revealing a full face.
