THE PHOTO

After spending quite a while photographing cityscapes in contrast with Nature, I wanted to capture a view of city life, near the beach, between the buildings and the ocean. I walked around for about an hour until I found this lovely group of morning enthusiasts, exercising at the beach, just after sunrise.

The city that seems to serve nightlife and consumerism exclusively changes gears in the morning and for a few hours we can almost see what the old beach resort must have looked like.

Santa Catarina, Brazil.


THE SHOOT

Once I found this group, I started taking pictures. I knew I had something there and kept moving closer, looking for a nice angle. I wanted to keep the city line in view, but retain the feeling of being at the beach. Their exercises included this position and I just had to capture the pose, as if they're worshipping the ocean or the city.
