Photography | Miss at la Playa

Leroy Grannis is one of the most famous surf photographers in the history of this sport. His most well-known work was done on the 60′s and 70′s, the decades in which urf became extremely popular in California and Hawaii, specially after the Big Swell in 1969. He took the photographs from the beach or windsurfing. and thanks to him some of the biggest waves have been immortalized. And maybe it wasn’t intentional, but the summer style of Malibu is perfectly portrayed on his photos, in such a natural way. I love the colourful swimsuits they wore then.

Sarah K. Byrne is a young photographer from Portland that creates these beautiful photos using the double exposure technique. It is a very creative trick you can achieve with a traditional camera by taking a photo, and then taking another one without rolling the cartridge. This way, the photo will be captured over the previous one, adding textures and new motifs. You need some photography knowledge, as you have to know how to control the framing, lighting, shadows and exposure. But I’m sure you’ve taken some of these by accident ;)

She’s explained step by step how to make your own double exposure photos. Some digital cameras allow it too (she uses a Canon 5D Mark III).
