The Sea Blues Photo Series Documents a Summer in Europe & Africa

Summer is just around the corner and that means a lot of young adults (perhaps teenagers as well) will be jet setting around the world to broaden their horizons and awareness of other cultures; the Sea Blues photo series is a taste of what some of them will experience when on these life-changing trips. The Sea Blues photo series documents two young women's summer of 2012 as they travelled across Europe and North Africa.

Shot by Pratt Institute graduates Cait Opperman and Yael Malka, the Sea Blues photo series is comprised of stunning landscapes, interiors and shots of the natives of each country they passed through. It provides a great overview of what similarly minded travellers can expect when they embark on their journey.
