Mysterious Works Born from Perilous Shoots
Clark Little, a photographer capturing the beautiful shore breaks (waves breaking near the shore) of Hawaii's oceans, is known for his distinctive style of shooting from within the massive waves, camera in hand.
Shooting at the water's edge is inherently dangerous; being engulfed by a wave and falling headfirst can be fatal. Yet, the photographs captured under these harsh conditions are breathtakingly beautiful and powerful.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Clark was recognized for his talent and pioneering spirit in shore break surfing at Waimea Bay, Oahu.
A turning point came in 2007. His wife asked him to hang ocean photos in their bedroom, sparking a new direction. Driven by his surfing skills, experience, and above all, his passion for the sea, he decided to pick up a camera and began photographing Hawaii's shore breaks.
He now operates galleries in Laguna Beach, California, and on Oahu's North Shore, actively releasing his work.
Works Available for Order During the Exhibition
His work is highly acclaimed, with messages from Jack Johnson in his photo collections and major corporations like Apple and Nike among his clients. In May 2011, his work was exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., where he received the "Ocean Photography Award."
This exhibition celebrates the release of his Japanese calendar, featuring a collection of his representative works, and marks his first solo exhibition in Japan.
The exhibition will showcase and offer pre-orders for his representative works. Additionally, Clark himself will visit Japan for autograph sessions at LOGOS GALLERY and Patagonia Surf Tokyo.
This exhibition will convey the allure of Clark's work through over 50 pieces, including scenes of him confronting immense waves. You are sure to be moved by these beautifully captured, precious moments.
