Elderly sunbathing just away from the beach at Aberavon. Aberavon, Wales

HURN David

For the last 40 years photographer David Hurn has dedicated his time to documenting his native Wales in search for the meaning of Welsh 'culture'. This image offers a glimpse into Hurn's exploration of everyday life in areas including Swansea and the south Wales Valleys during the 1970s.
