Sarah Henley-Martin, The epitome of summer. (PEOPLE 2023)

Shot on a B&W film camera. I love shooting film, you never quite know how it will turn out but that’s half the fun. The balance of exposure, lighting and darkness is a delicate dance. The kiss of the hot sun on your back. The anticipation before the jump. The rush as you leap through the air and moment of bliss as you feel the cool water on your skin. You know summer has reached its greatest potential.
