Photography of the beach.

Wayne Lawrence's takes pictures in the Orchard Beach, known as the Bronx Riviera.

Over six summers the photographer visited the Orchard Beach, and takes photos to the people, visitor 

of that beach, he knew the stigma attached to it was unjustified, and he want to show other view of 

this people without discrimination and remove the stigma of this places.

He had the possibility of knew some of his models and he think that in those places lived really good 

people and that the opinion that people have about them is a prejudice.

Lawrence's work reinforces the fact that striking, honest images can change people's expectations. In 

the photos, he show the people just like they are, shows the tattoos, six-packs, cellulite, fake nails, 

protruding belly buttons, beads, gold bangles and studded belts and everything representative of 

them, 

all of this thing is totally opposed to the normal parameters of the classic fashion photos, but at the 

same time he use the way of the fashion photographs, contrasting both words.


The artist has a hard live too; Lawrence regards himself as "an immigrant artist". If for that reason he 

work with this kind of topics and he is interests in the social issues and he always fight to eliminate 

the discrimination using the tools that art gives him.
