Be careful, risk of addiction... Whether you are surfing or not, diving into this book is likely to play tricks on you. From the very first pages, you are caught up in the wave. Russel Ord, Australian photographer delivers here nearly 300 pages of wave photos.
Here the human, the surfer, only takes the second role. The star returns to the wave that under the photographer's watchful eye comes in all shades of colour, sometimes blue, often yellow or green. This photographer who is not afraid of water, has scoured the surf spots in search of the ultimate photo.
If the part of the text is very small, compared to the place taken by the photos, it is written by the journalist Anthony Pancia, telling the story of the photographer's life and how he ended up risking his life to always place himself in the right place to capture these pictures.
This book is really captivating, because each page presents a new image of a wave, each one more sublime than the next. Presented in landscape format (horizontal), the waves (especially when the photo occupies the 2 pages) can give all their excesses. By letting your eyes glance at the page, it's like following the wave's progress.
A book that will satisfy both surfers and sea lovers. Immersing yourself in these pages, taking the view, gives a real breath of iodine for all lovers of the sea.
