The Beach Blog Video from Aquabumps on Vimeo.
We recently created this video for Aquabumps to promote and showcase Eugene’s new book ‘The Beach Blog’ – Telling the story of how and why it came together and showing off some of the detailing of the book such as the lenticular printing on the cover, the matt black finish and hard cover slip that the book fits neatly into. You really should get yourself a copy as it is a beautiful book and we hope this video helps show it off.

Knack studios created 4 films to document the Havaianas collaboration with beach photography institution Aquabumps.
The featured print on the Havaianas pair by Aquabumps ‘The Caribbean Look’ captures a busy summer’s day, on Australia’s iconic Bondi Beach. A tribute to our picture-perfect coast, it details bathers dotted along Bondi’s sandy shores and crustal blue water. To showcase how this shot was created we followed photographer Eugene Tan up above the iconic Sydney coastline and showcase how he photographs the beaches from above.
The story behind the collaboration was executed in 4 videos and shared across multi digital platforms including Youtube, Facebook and Instagram.
