Clark Little - Photographe de shorebreak

Clark Little, un des meilleurs photographes du North shore et connu depuis quelques années pour ses shoots dans les tubes de shorebreak. Un petit reportage sympa sur un gars qui n'a pas froid aux yeux...

Getting tossed around by shorebreak and slammed into the sand day after day is a rough go; Clark Little wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, for the North Shore local, it’s all in a good day’s work. But the Waimea addict didn’t grow up snapping shots with his father’s camera like so many photographers do.

He instead set out to capture his longtime stomping grounds when his wife came home with a framed photograph of Waimea shorebreak, an image he figured he would be able to easily replicate. Having never owned a camera, he threw a cheap “waterproof” casing over a cheaper point-and-shoot and headed out to the beach. Since that first attempt, Clark has not only emulated his wife’s purchased wall art, but, with a gallery in Haleiwa and international recognition, has become a heavily respected fixture of wave photography.
