Gray Malin

I came across photographer Gray Malin as he was featured on Insider Art, and I instantly fell in love with his landscapes. They reminded me of Richard Misrach's On the Beach series, as shown to us by Katie during our lecture on landscapes a couple of weeks ago.
I love the colour and the creativity shooting from a different perspective to what we normally expect. I want my own images to be really colourful; these images almost look as though they've been styled as they're so colourful and random, it looks too accidental.
"Sprinkles"
This image is my favourite from the series, I think the name of the print sums up what Malin's purpose was; not to capture the people as people, but as an entire group. I can't decide if I find his approach here anthropological or not; Whether the subject is supposed to be the people, or the pattern and colour their presence provides against the sand.
In early 2015, Malin collaborated with Sperry to produce a line of canvas shoes in his prints.
