The casual foundations of beach culture and beachwear are intrinsically recognisable to those who have spent any time near the Australian coast. Shot on location, ‘31 Beach Looks’ seems like an alternative manifesto for the beach experience. Key themes and details emerge amidst the tight framing and emphatic zooms in this photobook by Banjo McLachlan: faded tattoos, luxury accessories, perfectly lacquered nails, and idiosyncratic beach fashion. But perhaps the most resonant motif is that of the camera and the screen itself: in the majority of these pictures, we observe the subject experiencing the beach through the mediated space of their own smartphone screen.
