Street Photography in a Quiet French Coastal Village – Capturing Life Beyond the City — Hugh Rawson Photography



Finding Stories in Stillness

What I found most rewarding about shooting in a quiet French seaside village was the need to adapt my vision. Instead of chasing movement, I sought out tranquillity. I looked for visual poems in the way the village interacted with its surroundings: the sea, the sky, and the wind.

One of my favourite images from the trip was of an elderly man slowly pedalling on the hard sand of the deserted beach, the ocean as his backdrop, as he went seeking mussels. His posture, combined with the empty horizon, spoke volumes about the simplicity and depth of life in such a place.
