"The Crown"
800 x 1250mm - Oak Framed
By Emily Abay
Emily Abay’s The Crown captures a powerful and enigmatic moment, blending human form with the untamed essence of the sea. The subject, partially submerged in water, holds a shark’s jaw aloft, framing their face in a bold, surreal gesture. The interplay of light and shadow across the rippling surface adds depth and intensity, evoking themes of strength, vulnerability, and the delicate balance between humanity and nature’s primal forces.
With over a decade in photography, Emily Abay captures femininity and sensuality through sunlit curves and soft light. Known for her work in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and international ad campaigns, she now explores her creativity without limits. Inspired by the idea that photography is “painting with light,” she sees the world as her canvas, focusing on sexuality and self-image in ways that empower women.
