BLENDING a TROPICAL BACKDROP WITH beautiful EYEWEAR

Smith Optics teamed up with Bleach and iconic surfer Tatiana Weston-Webb for a photoshoot in the Maldives. Capturing their innovative sunglasses against the iconic turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the Indian Ocean, Smith’s signature lens technologies and stylish frames are shown off to perfection.

The Maldives delivered a picturesque scene for Tatiana to test the sunglasses, while also capturing her embracing the natural beauty and crystal clarity of the island paradise. The remote archipelago's turquoise lagoons and reef breaks serve as the ideal backdrop for water-based editorials.

By shooting in a real-world setting like the Maldives, Smith authentically connects to the surf community while showcasing quality, innovation and style.
