Big wave surfers are in search of the perfect ride and the biggest waves ever surfed, knowing that every ride could pull them down into the depths of the ocean. With that certainty, every moment means pure freedom and a life lived the most intense way possible.
Taken last November in Nazaré, Portugal.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
PATRICK EMS, BORN OCTOBER 1980, ZURICH.
I STEPPED INTO THE WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE YEAR 2000, WHICH INITIATED A CHANGE OF MY PERCEPTION ABOUT HOW I EXPERIENCE MY ENVIRONMENT. DURING THAT TIME, A STRONG FEELING INFLAMED IN ME TO CAPTURE ALL KIND OF MOMENTS AND SITUATIONS AROUND ME. CHASED BY EMOTIONS AND HASTE, LIKE A LITTLE CHILD EXPLORING A NEW WORLD, THERE WASN'T ANY PLAN OR VISION WHERE THIS JOURNEY WOULD GO.
FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS THE CHASE LEAD ME TO VARIOUS STYLES AND INFLUENCES AUGMENTING MY SKILL SET AS PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF POST PRODUCTION. IN THE YEAR 2012 THERE CAME THE TIME TO BUNDLE THOSE INFLUENCES AND IMPRESSIONS INTO A SINGLE VISION. THIS WAS THE MOMENT I DECIDED TO DEVOTE MY PASSION TO BLACK AND WHITE FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY.
