I love observing our human connection to the sea. The way that it draws us, calms us, and provides us a place to breathe, to dream, and to play. As I watched these surfers floating on their boards, quietly enjoying the setting sun together in the vastness of the Pacific, that relationship was never more evident or beautiful to me. This subtly abstract, minimalist seascape was photographed high above the shores of Southern California. I chose to use rapid, manual in-camera motion blur techniques were used instead of a long-exposure or lens accessory to evoke a sense of energy and movement inherent to the surf. I hope that this piece from my Pacific Shine Series inspires a sense of coastal tranquility in your space and transports you away to your own memories in or by the sea.
