Bifa 2021 Silver Award - Surfing The White Water @ Huntington Beach - Collectors edition

Photographed by Daniel Åström in Huntington Beach, California, USA — October 31, 2016

This internationally acclaimed black-and-white photograph captures a fleeting, powerful moment — a lone surfer poised at the crest of a wave, seconds before surrendering to the surging white water below. It is a moment of tension and grace, suspended in time, where motion and stillness meet.

Shot from the shore with the rhythm of the ocean as a guide, this image transcends the sport of surfing. It is a visual meditation on life’s delicate balance — a reflection of power, peace, and surrender merging into one sublime act. At its core lies the spiritual essence of surfing: flowing with The Spirit of God, where energy and stillness coexist in harmony.

Offered as a limited-edition fine art print, this piece is created for art collectors and ocean lovers who are drawn to the minimalist elegance of action photography and the soulful, meditative beauty of the sea. It invites contemplation, evokes joy, and brings the spirit of the ocean into any space — allowing you to stand, in spirit, at the water’s edge and witness the eternal dance between human and wave.
