Summer, beach – a view from above (21 photos)

American Gray Malin loves sunbathing on the beach. He channeled his love of sand and sea into a large-scale photo project, "À la Plage." The photographer traveled across America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia to capture the world's most beautiful coastlines, looking down on them from above.





Dallas resident Gray Malin worked in marketing for many years, but always loved photography. A turning point in his life came when he quit Paramount Pictures and founded his own photography company in Los Angeles.

Grey Malin believes the beach is the best place to relax. In his project "À la Plage," he explored the theme of human relaxation and the organization of coastal space. To achieve this, Malin climbed to a bird's eye view and photographed the world's most popular beaches from there. A dream job—there's no other way to say it!
