Description
Clark Little: The Art of Waves is a striking hardcover wave photography book that compiles over 150 images from surfer and photographer Clark Little. Featuring crystalline breaking waves, diverse marine life of Hawaii, and mind-blowing aerial photography, this collection presents some of Little’s most beloved work alongside images that have never before been published in book form. Throughout the book, Little shares stories and insights that provide context for the images and his approach to photographing waves.
Journalist Jamie Brisick contributes essays that explore how Clark gets the shot, how waves are created, and topics such as swimming with sharks—adding narrative depth and ocean context to the visual experience. Clark Little is known for creating deceptively peaceful wave photographs by placing himself under the deadly lip of a breaking wave just before it hits the sand. This rare “Clark’s view” perspective captures waves from the inside out, producing images that feel immersive and immediate.
Thanks to his ability to capture the perfect moment and live to tell the story, Little has built a devout audience, became the subject of award-winning documentaries, and emerged as one of the world’s most recognizable wave photographers. With a foreword by 11 time world surfing champion Kelly Slater and an afterword by the author discussing photographic practice and technique, this 219-page hardcover is a powerful conversation starter and a rare view of the wave—enjoyed safely from land.
