All the images were made using a digital Fuji X-Pro1 and edited using VSCO software to give a film ‘look’. I chose to shoot this on digital because I wanted to manipulate the photographs to give them a stylised look that I can’t get using film.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your work! This is reminiscent of Dijkstra’s beach portraits, but more flippant and less vulnerable. Keep it up. 😉
Hi Phil. You have a really interesting blog with some fabulous photos. Congratulations! If you are interesting in showing off your shots to a wider audience, we host a weekly travel photography competition in which we would love you to participate. Here are the details: http://hitchhikershandbook.com/your-contributions/travel-photography/. Happy travels!
Hi Phil, i casually stopped in your blog and now I feel lucky. this set is amazing. I love the surreal mood of the portraits, ironic and never stupid or trivial. the chose of tones and grain is perfect to improve the natural light tones. What else, really a GOOD work! i’ll keep on following your adds. Best

As a photographer I HATE people photography… at least shooting it. But looking at it is intriguing sometimes and this series is great! I LOVE the girl in the bikini and the scarf! Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my blog and follow it. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Nice portraits you have out here. The first two are my favourite: the big man with a whale float and the little boy with a fishing rod, what a lovely contrast!
Ok. So, I love these. Love them.
So original! I am so appreciative that you have chosen to follow my blog . . . it led me here! You shoot people, I’ll shoot what’s at their feet.
Seriously, really appreciate the moods you capture in your portraiture. Rich and varied. Lovely work!
Your work is unbelievable! This series reminds me so much of my days on the beach in northern California. I look forward to following all of your upcoming work. Thank you so much for following along on my blog!
These are some great looking photos buddy. Thanks a ton for following. I like your stoic and awkward posing of the models. Such a quirky/popular style that great photographers are using. I like the way you handled that within this setting. Very unique. Take care man. -ALexander.
WOW your work is really great!!
thank you so for visiting my blog!
so funny – “i shoot people”
really wonderful stuff. beautiful humor embedded. good medicine.
thank you
wishing you all good things
Great fun! You must have had a great time shooting these! Thanks for following my weather blog as well. Have you seen my photography blog: http://www.johnhaddenphotography.com ?

I’ve spent all morning looking through blogs and seen some great stuff – but I have to say that first photo is the best thing I’ve seen all day. Nay, all week. I salute you!
