I try to capture “the perfect moment” in my photography. It could be anything: a big wave, or a great surfer gliding – as long as it is something noteworthy in my mind.

All of us were impressed watching Knost during the Duct Tape Invitational at Salinas. Summer 2011.

Elmo Hernández hails from Asturias, on Spain’s North Coast. He started taking pictures with a compact camera, and as soon as he was able to save enough money, acquired a reflex camera. His work relies more on intuition than technique. “Catch it while it happens,” he says. He’s always trying to capture that moment when something remarkable takes place.
