Dive into our brand new coffee table book stuffed to the gills with wave pics that’ll make you drool... We asked a bunch of photographers involved a few questions in the process of making the book and didn’t have enough room to fit in all the answers so here’s some of them with a preview of the book. It’s out now so grab it from carve.Shop or your favourite book store.
This fascination with ocean energy leads people to become wave-riders, swimmers, lifeguards and even surf photographers. Seeking out waves of all shapes and sizes is what we do. Our connection to the ocean is strong. Knowing how waves work is essential, playing in their power is one of the most exciting things you can do, however you choose to do it. This book is a celebration of the raw beauty of waves around the world.
The photographers that help make it are a crazy bunch of obsessives that really should go get a real job as the rewards are paltry but we’re glad they weather all the storms to record Mama Nature’s finest show. Here’s a few of the gents:
WHAT MAKES A GOOD WAVE PHOTO?
Backdrops. A big powerful background in a lineup shot tells more of a story than a wave by itself. It creates a sense of curiosity and wonder “Where the hell is that?!” MARCUS PALADINO
For me, a good wave photo has to be something incredibly unique - whether it be weird light/weather combinations, a fresh angle or just simply one of those outrageous 'once in a blue moon' moments where you're lucky enough to be aiming your camera in the right direction.JOSH TABONE
I tend like think a good wave photo consists of mood colours and contrast. Plus some movement as well. Perfect sunny images are great, but dark images convey more of a story. RODD OWEN
