This collection of trends showcases a wide variety of beach side photo shoots. With the fall season about to begin, these summery backdrops will be enough to keep you going and lusting after warmer weather all winter long. These innovations in fashion photography encapsulate a number of tones and display several different thematic looks.
These series include swim wear, moody seaside editorials, romantic photo shoots, couture and casual clothing alike. On the swimsuit front, athletic fashion is prominent as are sultry, tropical shoots in the sand. Many coastal editorials evoke less playful emotions, as can be seen in haunting seaside editorials and cinematic seaside photo shoots. There is also no shortage of romance within these beach side photo shoots, with lots of loving glances and warm embraces.
