Marc Boily: Iona Collection | MONOVISIONS - Black & White Photography Magazine

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2024

IONA Beach park is an exquisite piece of land located right next to the Airport in Vancouver BC Canada. It has dazzling landscape and because the lower mainland area is already crowded with majestic beaches right in the heart of the city. Most city folks looking to spend a day on the beach tend to favor the city shores as most beaches are withing walking distance and the more adventurous would trek to the world famous “Wreck Beach” right on the edge of the University campus. So for the most part IONA beach is deserted aside from on the weekend or evenings.

In the spring of 2016 he decided to explore IONA’ sands and it’s more remote area. He started to shoot landscape nudes with some of the models he spend the rainy season working with around Vancouver. Right from the start the images were stunning and got him totally hooked. It wasn’t long before he had half a dozen sessions done and booked another 6 and expended the project to include an exhibit, book and offer some of these for print and digital publications.
