Book Review: A Day At Bondi - Eugene Tan


16 years ago, Eugene Tan started sending daily emails, to a small subscription base, containing photos of Bondi Beach. 11 years ago, Eugene quit his office job as a creative director, & focussed all of his attention on Aquabumps, which by then had opened a gallery in Bondi.
Every morning, Eugene rises before dawn and heads down to Bondi Beach, where new and exiting photo opportunities await. Then, through various social media outlets, he shares a select few images for his subscribers, giving those stuck in less desirable places a few moments of bliss.
Released in 2010, A Day at Bondi is a book which showcases all that Bondi has to offer. The book is in chronological order, it starts before sunrise & finishes after sunset.
The photos are shot from every angle, including underwater & above from a helicopter, looking down over the swimmers & surfers (my personal favourite).
 It is showcased in a beautiful 208 paged A3 sized hardcover book. Different types of paper are used for different photographs, to fully achieve the desired effect.

Looking through this book can be bring a touch of summer to even the dreariest of winters days.
