Picture 1 of 15
This was from the second largest swell ever surfed at Teahupo'o last May. Every time someone lets go of the rope, you are holding your breath. These surfers are gladiators and deserve all the credit in the world. This was one of the larger waves of the day, and Alain Riou put his local knowledge to the test. Photo: Seth de Roulet
Photography is not always about the actual image. Often, it’s about the moment leading up or the journey to arrive at the image. These 15 images are key stops in my journey of photography over the last 20 years. I have loved every bit of it, and I can’t wait to see what the next 20 years brings.
