Akila Berjaoui

Akila Berjaoui’s sensual photographs often feature sand, sun and water – or a combination of all three. A highly sought-after fashion photographer, Berjaoli likes to focus on seaside locations, from her hometown of Sydney to sunbathing hotspots in Italy, France and Brazil. Much in the tradition of Slim Arons, Bruce Weber, Peter Beard, Claude Nori and Juergen Teller – all of whom she regards as influences on her work – Berjaoui’s analogue photos hark back to the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
