Hurricane Waves

“To photograph storm-tossed waves during a hurricane, Clifford Ross goes into the surf himself, deploying a wetsuit, flotation vest, and rope that tethers him to his assistant back on the beach. The result is a series of stunningly dramatic black and white photographs that are among Ross’s best-know works, collected here in their entirety for the first time. They affirm his commitment to the expressive powers of realism as well as to the most advanced possibilities of technology.” (4ème de couverture) Photos en noir et blanc.
