Piece description from the artist
What I love about this photo is that it shows how remote Bermuda is and yet how close the beach, and yes, the best rum swizzle, is to the viewer. It's that escapism and that feeling of being away juxtaposed with the sun, the sand, the sea that gives this photo a feeling of a distant paradise. The path to the beach also grounds the viewer toward the ocean representing relaxation and, to me, nothing says Bermuda's beauty more.
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.
