“Bruno has always been a daydreamer,” says German photographer Judith Jockel. “Even as a little kid, he could be happy alone.”
Jockel photographed her eldest son, who was then 10, on Oranjezon beach during a holiday in the Netherlands. “It was a busy summer’s day, with all these people and families running in and out of the sea. By the water’s edge were these shallow puddles of seawater, and I spotted Bruno lying in one. It was such a contrast to all the noise and mayhem around him; there he was, in his own little world. In the low, late afternoon sun he looked so relaxed, so beautiful.”
