Although summer doesn't stick around forever in some parts of the world, these beach photography series capture the beauty of warm weather while it lasts. These summer photos are all about spending time at the seaside, soaking up the rays of the sun during lazy days at the beach.
It's not hard to point a camera at a beach and shoot to capture something beautiful, but these photos look at the beach from unique perspectives. While some photographers get up close and personal with their subjects on the shores, others take to the sky to capture impressive aerial shots of the beach, making people, lounge chairs and sun umbrellas look more like tiny toy figurines than real parts of a beach. Since a change in seasons will soon be here, these beach photos serve as a reminder to get out and enjoy the best of what summer has to offer.
