The casual foundations of beach culture and beachwear are intrinsically recognisable to those who have spent time anywhere near the Australian coast. Chanel, selfie sticks, and illuminated screens are rarely our frames of reference. Shot on location at one of the world’s most iconic beaches, Banjo McLachlan’s new book, 31 Beach Looks, reads like an alternative manifesto for the beach experience.
31 BEACH LOOKS - BANJO MCLACHLAN
Born and raised in Newport on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Banjo was introduced to photography at a young age by his father. His fascination with the craft saw him leave school to pursue photography studies, leading him into a career as a paparazzi photographer, capturing high-profile celebrities visiting Australia.
Relocating to New York, he expanded his focus to documentary photography, shifting from the realm of fame to documenting the rich stories of ordinary people and exploring the essence of urban life.
Early exposure to photography fostered an appreciation for scanning, developing, and printing, shaping his artistic foundation. Influenced by music, skateboarding culture, and the aesthetics of 90s and 00s fashion photography, he draws inspiration from the interactions between people and their environments, merging these elements with his perspective and evolving practice.
