“Seaside Solitude” by Photographer Thiago Cosme Morales

A series shot in Rio de Janeiro during September 2025 by Thiago Cosme Morales. Morales is a street photographer from Brazil, currently working between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. After decades living in the city and spending time on countless beaches, Morales came to notice a curious local habit: seeking out an empty spot on the sand to disconnect from everything and everyone, alone in front of the sea. “Seaside Solitude” is photographed on 35mm Ferrania 80 and Kodak Tri-X 400.
