First Sun: A Photo Essay

I created this photo series in June while studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, this summer. Taking a photography class for the first time opened my eyes to a medium that had been elusive to me for years, and I finally felt like I had produced something I was proud of. After an initial onslaught of cold, cloudy days, a sunny day made for a great opportunity to enjoy a nearby beach at Amager Strandpark. I wanted to capture fleeting moments that documented the joy and relaxation of the beach, while also highlighting the harmony between man and nature. Enjoy!
