Liquid Backyards is a photo series for O’Neill’s Summer 22 swim collection, shot with full artistic freedom. The approach: never show a face. The story is told through gestures, silhouettes, wet skin and light, so the images stay open and every viewer can project themselves into them. It is a lifestyle work that looks unstaged, catching real moments between friends rather than poses, while still serving the brand and the collection. A way of photographing that makes people want to be part of the crew.
