Beach Matters: Candid photography series captures interactions on Thailand's Pattaya Beach

British born photographer, Larry Hallegua, has been shooting candid colour photography for the past five years, mainly in Asia and occasionally Europe. His work has been described as 'bittersweet moments' and 'fanciful characters frozen into bizarre activities', and for this particular project, he chose Thailand as his focus.

He explains: "Pattaya Beach resort, a popular destination for foreigners in Thailand, is well known for its nighttime sex industry, but during the daytime, tourists and Thais relax together on the beach.

"The series is a colourful portrait of the characters and happenings of this resort, capturing familial relationships, leisure time and a healthy dose of sun-worshipping." Discover more at larryhallegua.com.
