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.

I wanted to shoot just waves and occasionally some surfers, but this wave came, I dove under, let it pass over me, turned back and started shooting." The formal qualities of the resulting image are what mesmerized Thouard. "The way the light is going through the water, the position of the surfer and the shape of the wave, wow! It remains my favorite pictures out there."
