Warrior – This fine art surf photograph was captured at Bronte Beach, Sydney, Australia. With the end of summer, a powerful swell was rolling into the coastline. Hoping to find some action, I went down to the beach – only to see the towering waves breaking empty beneath a heavy grey sky.
I stayed for a while, watching. A few brave surfers finally jumped in – ready to fight the monsters. Then, just before sunset, the clouds opened, and the sky lit up in deep orange.
This image captures one of those rare, fleeting moments when everything aligns perfectly – courage, light, and motion meeting at their highest peak.
Awards:
-2020 Nikon Surf Photo of the Year Award – Finalist
