When I still lived in Haarlem, Wijk aan Zee was one of my favorite places to take my camera. Photography is my passion, and at the coast I always found new energy and inspiration.
On a sunny afternoon, I decided to take my camera equipment with me to capture the power of the sea and the dynamics of the sport. Kite surfing immediately caught my attention: the speed, excitement and tremendous power of the water combined in one image.
I focused my camera and waited for the right moment. Right as a surfer sliced through the waves and the water splashed up in a big arc, I pressed on. I managed to capture that one moment of pure power and freedom in this image.
At home, I carefully edited the shot in black and white. By leaving out the colors, the details of the splashing water and the silhouette of the surfer stand out even more. It makes the photo timeless and powerful at the same time.
For me, this work symbolizes the freedom of the sea and the energy of sport. An image that exudes not only movement and action, but also the beauty of a single, frozen moment.
