CREATIVE CRUSH // LA DOLCE VITA

European Summer anyone? Gray Malin has brought the Italian Riviera to the people, with his latest photographic collection La Dolce Vita.

Inspired by the glamourous lifestyle of the European coastline in the 50's and 60's and the retro-vintage beach umbrellas which have stood the test of time, the collection includes beaches on the Amalfi Coast, Isle of Capri and Cinque Terre.

A LA PLAGE // GRAY MALIN

'A La Plage' is a series of aerial beach shots by photographer Gray Malin.

"From above, a simple beach or pool becomes a blank canvas that allows me to start seeing the world as art. People and objects become patterns creating repetition, shape and form. These photographs are a visual celebration of colour, light, shape - and summer bliss"

While they instantly give off that care-free summer holiday feeling, what I find interesting is the difference between how we 'beach' across the globe. See if you can guess the locations for each of the images without reading the answers below...
