Christian Halaguena, Shadows by the Shore (B&W 2024)

In this black-and-white series, the serene beauty of Milk Beach intertwines with the striking presence of the models. Shot with the FujiFilm X-H2 and the versatile FujiFilm XF 16-55mm R LM WR lens, these portraits capture raw emotions against a backdrop of rippling waves and textured sands. The absence of colour emphasises the play of light and shadow, highlighting each model’s unique expression and connection to the coastal landscape.
