Photographer Spends Hours In Open Waters To Capture Exquisite Moments of Glass-Like Waves

If you are interested in photography, this photo series of the wave is going to make your head spin. Shot by Tahiti-based photographer, Ben Thouard, the waves he works with as his canvas appear like glass, large creatures that stand still, though they are actually shot in movement.

Thouard photographs the ocean in varying stages of intensity. Sometimes, he'll showcase relatively calm waters that sway back and forth. More often, however, Thouard's images are of curling waves, shot at the moment when they start to fold over onto themselves. Both dramatic and awe-inspiring, the true force of the currents are revealed by surfers who try to tame and regularly tumble in the waves' wake.
