Snells Beach

Download
In August, The Delta variant of COVID-19 began to spread in New Zealand, and the entire country returned to the strictest form of lockdown. All at once, everyone’s world got a whole lot smaller. For Richard Robinson, the change couldn’t have been more pronounced. Now, instead of heading to the subantarctic islands to photograph whales underwater or hitching rides with commercial tuna-fishing operations off the coast of Australia, Robinson—along with his wife and three young children—found himself confined to the neighbourhood. So he set himself a new assignment: to record the tiny inhabitants of the tide pools on the flats of Snells Beach, just 400 metres from his home.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue: 172 November December 2021.
