‘Your Summer’ #5: Michelle Steel, Artist & Photographer

‘Your Summer’ is part of a collaborative creative project to celebrate the release of Yellow Wire’s debut single ‘Where Is The Summer?’, out now.

“Being by the sea always inspires me. There is a different quality of light – the beach, the water, the sky all reflect the sun’s rays in a really special way. It’s this light that I am especially attracted to by the coast – it’s amazing at any time of year, winter or summer, cloudy or clear. This particular photo was taken in Porthmeor, Cornwall. Aside from the crisp, bright light on that particular day I was really attracted to the density, busyness and colours in this photo. It’s such a ‘British’ style seaside summer scene, with our fluorescent windbreaks and tents and sun brollies, like little ants all busily rubbing in sun cream or building sandcastles, crammed and packed onto this little stretch of the earth. We are such idiosyncratic, vibrant, communal, individual, amazing creatures. I never get bored of watching us.”
