Dupain’s lens was drawn to the beach his entire life. From family holidays at Newport to long camping trips along the South Coast. His beach photography became a lifelong meditation on light, body, and landscape.
In Sunbaker (1937), Dupain captured an image that would come to define the Australian way of life. A body sculpted by light, pressed into the land it came from. The harshness of the sun, the clarity of form, and the stillness of the moment.
For Edit 0.1, we found ourselves chasing that same quality; the simplicity, the restraint, the intimacy of the body in landscape.
