Photographer Clark Little has dedicated his life to film the world's ultimate waves and has now published his favourite shots of all time.
Clark, 39, swims in terrifying seas and crouches on shorelines with his waterproof camera to capture rarely seen views from inside a 'tube' - a breaking wave.
He has now unveiled this set of images which he says are the best he has ever taken and epitomise the world's deadliest surf.
Many of his photographs are shot at Waimea Bay in Hawaii - the home of surfing and immortalised in the lyrics of the Beach Boys song 'Surfin USA'.
They show perfect arcs of water and crystal "caverns" which are turned into a kaleidoscope of colour by sand and rays of sunlight.
Father-of-two, Clark, from Oahu, Hawaii, says he often risks his life to capture the "perfect wave".“克拉克來自夏威夷 的奧布,兩個孩子的父親, 他說,為捕捉到那些‘完美漂亮的海浪,豁出命來,我覺得也值。
He said: "I love the ocean - I am addicted tothe waves. Especially places like Waimea Bay. I started surfing therein the 1990s and now I like to photograph it as much as possible.“我愛海洋,我覺得對波浪簡直有癮,尤其是像維美這樣的海灣。1990 我開始衝浪,而現在我卻喜歡盡可能的拍下它們。”
"I'm always in the water before dawn to try and snap that perfect picture as the sun rises."I try to capture the beauty and power ofthese monstrous waves from the inside out. I enjoy the power and beautyof the huge waves that roll through.“我總是這樣,每當清晨太陽升起之前,我已在水中,對著美麗的畫麵按下快門。”我想要的就是這種排山倒海的巨浪,在浪口風尖,由裏向外地,表現奔你而來的大浪的鋪天蓋地力和美。
"Thanks to experience I can capture some of those heavy moments without getting slammed about myself. Well, most of the time."“幸運地是,幾乎每次都是經驗幫了大忙,使我才能夠拿捏炫彩的瞬間,而不被波濤卷走。”
