Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach has always felt like a hidden pocket of the coast, where rugged cliffs meet quiet coves and the ocean seems to stretch endlessly. Stripping away color let me focus on its textures—the jagged rocks, the soft tide pools, the way light scatters across the waves. But beyond its beauty, Laguna holds a deeper meaning for me, it means so much to my father. He’s always been drawn to this place, having grown up here. It's quiet charm and untamed coastline, that connection has become part of me too. Through these photos, I wanted to capture not just Laguna’s landscape, but the feeling of being somewhere that holds history, both personal and eternal.

All photos were taken on Ritz Camera Kodak Tri-X 400TX Professional Black & White Film ISO 400, 35mm
