TITLE : DREAMLAND
SERIES
AUTHOR : TARAS BYCHKO
“Dreamland. Side of sea” is a series of photographs that captures the relaxed atmosphere of life by the seaside leading up to the beginning of the summer season.
Without the tourist frenzy, these English towns offered me the tranquility I desperately needed.
The coastal ambiance breathes new life and inspires dreaming. It’s a place where one can find solace, be alone with their thoughts, and envision their dream life.
The street photography series, “Dreamland,” was taken by photographer Taras Bychko between February and May 2023.
The photos were captured during travels along the coastline of England, spanning from Brighton to Margate.
