entry description
The aerial perspective used to create this series enables a combination of water and people that appears informed by the other’s presence, almost meant to be viewed as one unified and rhythmic design. What emerges is a harmony between the two in a symbolic meeting of nature and man. Form and design occur in the ocean on a macro level, and from this bird’s eye view I sought out instances where the saturated blue of the sea was met by a crisp white line of foam and for the surfer who unknowingly measured the ocean’s vast expanse. I also documented the surfers waiting their turn in the line up since the delicate S-curve they made mimicked the organic form of the wave.about the photographer
