Grzegorz Adamski's 'Island Feelings' is a beach house photo shoot unlike most others. Rather than a brand new, luxurious beach house in Malibu or some far-flung exotic island, this shoot takes place at a run-down abandoned home at the beach.
With the waves at the horizon, the peeling paint at this seaside abode has seen far better days. And the forlorn and lost expressions Grzegorz Adamski's model has throughout the shoot indicate that she, too, has perhaps seen better days. Click through the gallery above to see what I mean.
