Norwegian model Agnes Bohn had just landed in Sydney, and met with me as she wanted to add beach shoots to her portfolio. It was her first ever beach shoot as her hometown in Norway is too cold to swim. Apart from some surfers, we had the whole beach to ourselves in this secluded Northern Beaches suburb. This image had zero editing or manipulation done- it is directly out of camera, apart from the intentional 90 degree rotation. We were at the right place and time as the waves on this particular day were long and flat, and left a thin reflective sheet of water across the sand to reflect her feminine charm and beauty.
