Let’s just say that after looking at this week’s edition of Frames, we know that Tom Batrouney and LWA share plenty of similar interests.

The brains behind Paper Sea Quarterly, Tom is a Melbourne-based photographer – but looking at his slew of coastal images filled with tanned babes and picture-perfect waves, we’d swear that he was from our own backyard. Still, his portfolio is impressively diverse, as shown in the selection below curated by the man himself. There’s also glimpses of fashion and Tom’s own travels – and he’s the perfect example of a contemporary creative with a sense of adventure:

“Models inspire me on a daily basis, and it’s such a cool time to be involved in the fashion world as there are so many models out there who are way more than a face or a body. The same goes for surfers and people in general. It’s an exciting generation to be a part of and as a young person documenting this generation of models, surfers and people with nature and travel I can’t see myself needing anything else in life to get out of bed and start shooting.”
