Hayley Marie Coppin arrives at the nudist beach looking like she has been planning this exact afternoon for quite some time. She settles onto her bright pink wrap in the warm sand, white retro sunglasses pushed up her nose, and everything about her posture communicates that this is exactly where she belongs. The dune grass sways around her and the sun falls warm and even on her bare skin as she stretches and poses with the unselfconscious ease of someone for whom being at the nudist beach is simply the most natural thing in the world. There's an openness to the whole set, a genuine quality of enjoyment that lifts it beyond the purely visual.
As the Back to the Nudist Beach set moves toward its conclusion, Hayley takes to her feet and walks the shore, the pink wrap caught up in one hand and streaming behind her in the breeze like a banner of cheerful liberation. The final image captures her mid-stride with a grin, bare and completely at ease, the sand and sky and green of the dunes forming a bright and breezy backdrop. It is the image of someone who has found exactly the right place to be exactly herself.
