I have to admit, the finders fee on this artist goes to my brother, who after stumbling upon Tommy Clarke’s work at a SOHO gallery snagged one for his own apartment. I quickly fell in love with the almost abstract quality of Clarke’s aerial photos, the way they’re photographs that don’t really read as such.

Clarke was born on the South Coast of England and his work is partially inspired by all of his trips to the beach growing up. He first photographed Bondi Beach in Australia and has since moved on to other locales worldwide. When not traveling, he works out of his London studio. Here are some of my favorites, but you can read more about Tommy Clarke and shop all of his photos here:
