Beach Lovers

by Erica Reade (Photographer), Gulnara Samoilova (Text by)

Overview

Beach Lovers is a series of intimate moments shared by couples at the beaches of  NYC. These moments hold intimate gestures of couples; some tender, rubbing sunscreen on a partner's back; others lustful, a deep kiss in the water. Being amongst the waves and sand emboldens couples to enjoy more affectionate freedom, their inhibitions less hidden than anywhere else observed in the city. Beach Lovers is about the public display of intimacy between couples from diverse backgrounds, a claiming of public space for private tenderness.
