Pierre Carreau: Waves and Beaches

While spending time at Clic Gallery over the weekend I came across the incredible prints of French photographer Pierre Carreau. By taking hundreds upon hundreds of shots, Carreau has honed his craft to create isolated portraits of waves in which the light and nuances of each curve make them appear more like glass than water.

Born near Paris in 1972, Carreau has obsessed about the ocean since he was a child. For many years he shot for surf or kitesurfing magazines. According to his website:  Pierre always says : “a photographer is literally someone who writes with light”. Carreau has lived on St. Barth since 2004 where he works commercially while also continuing his ongoing study of wave shapes, titled “AquaViva”.

Limited signed prints available at Clic Gallery.
