Surf shop, Mission Beach, California, 2015

The early morning sun enriches the colors of the clothing and equipment being sold here. I use light and shadow to weave a beige and brown “California flag” beach towel, a red “San Diego” T-shirt, and two deep blue belly-boards, into a unified display. I frame them in shadow, and use the additional strong diagonal shadows that run through this image to bind the clothing to the surfing equipment. The image becomes cohesive because I have built it around the complimentary contrasting primary colors.
