Wave Talk | 40 x 40cm

I often see surfers heading down to the water together, boards under their arms, talking as they go.
I imagine they're discussing the conditions, where the waves are breaking and whether it's worth paddling out.
Perhaps they've been watching the sea for a while already, weighing things up before deciding to take the plunge.
I liked the simplicity of these two figures against the open beach and colourful sky.
There's a quiet sense of anticipation about them, that moment just before the surf begins.
And of course, once they're in the water, the conversation can wait. The waves have other plans.
