Piece description from the artist
What drew me to take this photo are the intersecting lines of the volcanic rock structures with the perpendicular angle of the sunlight in the top right corner. As I brought the camera up to my eye a man on the beach walked into the frame and raised his hand to his face, shielding the sun and looking forward. To me, this completes the composition of the photo and helps convey a feeling of optimism and balance.
Esan Swan is a professional photographer, journalist and picture editor at the Financial Times in London. With deep roots in his community and heritage, his work seeks to represent the rich multicultural storytelling that inspired him in his youth and continues to do so now well into his career. Historical documentary photography and varying art and social movements as well as commercial interpretation of beauty have influenced his work into a contemporary style that could be called its own. Originally from Bermuda and partly raised in the United States, his international approach to storytelling, from commissioned picture essays to independent work on his website, is defined by the aesthetics of nature, design and human connections.
