Nick is a Sony photographer based in Virginia Beach and his Instagram account boasts nothing but beautiful beach scenes. He’s had a strong passion for sunrise beach photography for as long as he can remember, and it shows! While capturing the stunning colors of the sun and sky, he uses a variety of compositions and subjects in the foreground to make each one unique. He took this photo with the Sony α7 III and the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master.

Wahyu is an Indonesian travel blogger and content creator based in Bali. His account is chock-full of adventurous travel photos and impressive views. He also posts many great Instagram stories from the different locations he’s visiting, some of which include helpful tips for travelers and photographers. He captured this reflection photo at Walakiri Beach on the Indonesian island of Sumba using his Sony α7 III with a Sony 55 mm f/1.8 lens.

Will – @wdsfilm

Will is a Sony photographer based in New York City. Using his Sony α7R II he mostly captures images of the city while on his way to work, but one of his latest photos takes him out of the Big Apple and onto a rocky beach at Acadia National Park. This unique capture was taken with the α7R II and Sony 16-35mm f/4. We just love the way the beautiful sunrise starburst shines over the water.
