52 Brilliant Beach Shoots
From Beach Bum Photography to Polluted Beach Pin-Ups:
Meghan Young — Oct 2, 2010 — Fashion
There's something so sexy and sultry about sandy beaches that I'm not surprised there have been so many brilliant beach shoots. Granted, they usually involve scantily-clad women, so I can understand where the sexiness comes from. Yet beach photography spans more than just swimwear. From vintage captures to surfer editorials, the beach is definitely where all the fun is to be had.
