About

This intimate photograph by Olly Burn captures two individuals standing waist-deep in water at sunset, their arms extended to hold hands. The low-angle lighting creates striking silhouettes against the shimmering, sunlit ripples of the water surface. The composition emphasizes texture on the water and the soft drapery of clothing against the fading evening light. The atmospheric scene highlights a quiet, candid connection between the subjects in a natural outdoor body of water.
