'Lido' – A Reportage Series by Ophelia Wynne

In
the dark, wet weather what better to brighten up your day than enjoying
photographs of a sun-drenched Saltdean Lido? This series of documentary
photographs, some of which were featured last year in The Sunday Times
Magazine, captures the absurd and overlooked beauty of British life. 

Ophelia
began her photography career working for The Face magazine, documenting the
club/youth scene. Although known more for her portrait work, some of her
clients include British Vogue, Teen Vogue, W Magazine and various weekend
supplements.
