It’s that time of the week again: #PhotoFriday is here and we have winner: on June 14, Erica Reade blew us away with these images of Rockaway Beach in the mirror!

Originally from Montreal in Canada, professional photographer Erica currently lives in Brooklyn; she heads out to Rockaway “several times a week” to hone her craft and create.

“I have been coming to the Rockaways since I moved here 13 years ago,” she told The Wave. “I love the ocean, and the peninsula has always fascinated me. It is my favorite place in all of NYC, and I come out here all year long to shoot photos. Erica has been busy shooting her Beach Lovers series for five years now, a project which is “based largely in Rockaway and Fort Tilden.”

“I’m about to start another summer of shooting and I’m working on a photo book,” Erica said. Her inclusion of mirrors is certainly unusual in a beach setting and lends an ethereal atmosphere to her shots. Her discovery of this happened by chance: “I discovered a discarded mirror by the surf beach in Fall 2017 and quickly became obsessed with shooting reflections by the water since then. Rockaway is already so beautiful and this project challenges me to add layers to that beauty.”
