Inside the Wave Photography by Clark Little

June 01, 2009 from paul0v2's blog

Clark Little manages to do what no one has ever done before, go out on the Hawaiian sea and take photos from inside the waves. It's a very dangerous type of photography when going into waves that vary from 3 - 15 feet, but it pays off with the result because the photos are unbelievable amazing, definitely something you never seen before.

It all started in 2007 when Clark’s wife wanted a nice piece of art to decorate a wall. Voluntarily, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the water, and starting snapping away capturing the beauty and power of monstrous Hawaiian waves from the inside out. “Clark’s view” is a unique view of the ocean that most will only be able to experience safely on land, while studying one of Clark’s photos.

"I enjoy the power and beauty of the thick bombs that roll through. Now I can capture some of those heavy moments without getting slammed. Well, most of the time."

Now with a camera upgrade and an itch to get that better shot, Clark has taken this on full time and has moved his office from land, to the inside of a barrel. Since the recent stir of Clark’s work, his images have been run on the Today Show, ABC World News Now, Paris Match (France), Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) magazine, Surfer magazine as well as multiple publishers and newspapers in the U.S. and overseas.

Here is a little interview that Clark gave to the abc news.

The wallpaper of this week is a design I created inspired by the Heroes series. I did the image because I wanted to try to create the eclipse effect of the opening titles of that show using only Photoshop. Of course in the end I had to add some little textures to make it looks a bit older, with that vintage feel. Check out the tutorial: Very Easy Heroes Eclipse in Photoshop.
