Laura Crimmins, Untamed (PEOPLE 2026)

Captured along the Victorian coastline, this image documents a fleeting moment of unrestricted childhood joy. My son moved instinctively through the shoreline, jumping, shouting, laughing and completely immersed in the sensory freedom of the ocean. The monochrome treatment strips the scene back to emotion, movement and memory.
