It was August 15, 2017 when I captured this photo. The swell had a perfect corner but it was not enough to make pictures from the water possible, so I decided to climb on a cliff to find the ideal location and take some shots. From Imperial Rome on August 15, it was considered a day of rest, celebrating the end of agricultural work started by Emperor Augustus in 18 BC. I am Roman so I have always celebrated this day with relatives and friends, only this year I wanted to celebrate from behind my camera.
Water photographer Federico Vanno (@liquidbarrel) took over our Instagram recently, featuring his favorite lineups from around the globe. “My passion for photography started in 2007, but my passion for the sea began long ago as a child,” he told us. “I like to travel and find waves that I have never been to, but the thing I particularly like is searching for new waves never surfed before.”
