Post 15: Ray Collins

Australian photographer, Ray Collins, has spent the past decade photographing the surf, focusing on the form of the waves and the effect that water can have. He began photography after he injured his knee in a mining accident. During his recovery time, he dove into the waves and began practicing. Since then, he has made a significant name for himself, photographing surfers, and working with the aviation and automotive industries, and many more. He has been featured in National Geographic, and works to show environmental impact within the ocean.

His pictures use a low exposure and a fast shutter speed to capture the movement of the waves. All of his pieces depict the ocean as powerful, and constantly in motion. His work differs form that of Clark Little, in that the depiction of the waves give a different presentation. These waves are powerful and dangerous, while Clark Little shows them as powerful as well, but in a warmer tone. It is amazing to see different styles of the same subject.
