The sea and beaches play an important role in Eddy Verloes' photo career. It is a place where the desire for vastness, purity and unspoiltness is strong. His photo series is filled with people sunbathing, sleeping, reading and with beaches full of towels, sun loungers and windbreaks. Beaches are places where not only the human body, but also the peculiarities of human behavior are clearly visible. Verloes tries to highlight this 'human shortcoming' and often does so in a humorous and confrontational manner. He presents a mirror to man. People sometimes look forward to going on holiday to the sea for a year and once they arrive, they hardly pay attention to it and lie closed off, bathing in their own world. Man desperately wants to see the sea and when he is there, he turns his back on the sea. In his photos you see the inner monk of the photographer who depicts the introverted person with all his little quirks. Ultimately, the little man - in all his limitations - is only concerned with himself and often has no eye for the grandeur of the sea and the natural beauty.
