Surf Photographer Clark Little on Staring Down Shorebreak to Get the Perfect Shot - The Inertia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- Getting tossed around by shorebreak and slammed into the sand day after day is a rough go; Clark Little wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, for the North Shore local, it's all in a good day's work. But the Waimea addict didn't grow up snapping shots with his father's camera like so many photographers do. He instead set out to capture his longtime stomping grounds when his wife came home with a framed photograph of Waimea shorebreak, an image he figured he would be able to easily replicate. Having never owned a camera, he threw a cheap "waterproof" casing over a cheaper point-and-shoot and headed out to the beach. Since that first attempt, Clark has not only emulated his wife's purchased wall art, but - with a gallery in Haleiwa and international recognition - has become a heavily respected fixture of wave photography.
Special thanks to Tom Servais and Clark Little archives for the gorgeous imagery and Freddy Booth and Peter King for the in-water videos. Check out Clark's new, 160-page coffee table book, Shorebreak, to see more of his work.

Mesmerizing , Clark Little really captures the magic of the ocean
You are so blessed. People who can not swim have no idea of the power of the waves.
THANKS for the really great pics. Best job ever man!
I love stuff like this. People who just do instead of sit back and wish.
Proof ...NO RISK NO GAIN!!
THANKS CLARK for taking the risk so we can enjoy Wave Magic!!
We human beings need this kind of passionate and caring man
This guy's personality is truly amazing.
being creative with the ocean like this and to capture its beauty that the human eye can't see, until this guy comes along is awesome.
This is unbelievable. Amazing stuff. Love your passion.
Oh my goodness... this is so amazingly wonderful!! good for you!!!! thanks for sharing your talent!
I've shared some of your pics, and never had the pleasure of meeting you. I have a child who is in school up north, and misses our beaches in So-Cal so much. I've sent him the beach in a jar to put on his shelf...but would love to send a pretty wave in a pic to him. So I said all that to say Thank You. You are truly God's gift to us!
There are people that shoot action shots and people that shoot art. The focus on art is quite clear in his photography. Well done!!
Many thanks for the very good looking channel. The presentation by and large was awesome.
This is passion in action!
Every day i go skimboarding, surfing or cliff jumping i watch this video simply amazing
