REVIEWS / COMMENTS

The dramatic, heart-pounding pictures of crashing surf captured by photographer Clark Little will immediately transport you to the wave-soaked beaches of Hawaii. Forewords by star surfer Kelly Slater and Hawaii native Jack Johnson are just as groovy as the gravity-defying swells showcased in this oversized volume.

— Genevieve Bahrenburg

This is one of those rare gems, which conquers all coffee-table books and paints the perfect picture of Hawaii.

— Scott Podmore

Welcome to the surf as Clark Little sees it. Don't try this at home!

Extraordinary art

The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little, a new book from photographer and surfer Clark Little, shows Hawaii's waves in all their glory

A vision of the natural world that few ever see for themselves

Absolute stunner

— Ben Hawkins

Beautiful coffee table book

— Tom Servais

A new book, The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little (with forewards from friends Kelly Slater and Jack Johnson), gathers the man's work in one place for the first time. The result is a whole new perspective.

— Shelby Stanger

Rarer still is a shooter like Clark Little, whose astounding risk threshold has allowed him to coax powerful and original imagery from a primordial force. Little’s impressionistic pieces are not just breaking waves on a beach in the mid Pacific. They’re more akin to contemporary state-of-the-art astrophotographs of quasars and nebulae—close-up visions of raw energy in the process of spending itself. These are visions almost none of us might ever have witnessed without this exceptional collection.

— Jim Cornfield

To even the most jaded photography nut, these images are show-stoppers, as in, “How the f*%& did he take that picture?” and, “Oh my god! That’s a wave?!” Or, my reaction, “How is that even real?”...

At its best, The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little feels like a magic trick of sorts—incredibly quiet, contemplative moments of beauty distilled from one of nature’s most violent and destructive symbiotic relationships. At its least, it is simply some of the most unique eye candy to come down the line in quite some time.

— Ethan Stewart

Worth gracing the coffee table of any den is The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little (relatively cheap at $US100). Little has spent years placing himself in the belly of aquatic beasts so he can take shots of water defying gravity and freezing it like a photographic statue. His debut coffee-table book is a perfect combination of adventure and natural beauty.

— Fred Pawle

Clark Little has a photo coffee table book on the market that is beautiful. It is one of my favorite photo books and I have it on my coffee table.

—Corky Carroll

The photos are that original. Some approach pure abstraction. Others are razor sharp, precisely freezing single drops of water as part of an infinitely larger picture. Each is a record of a single wave and simultaneously an experience of that wave. Even viewers whose toes have never touched salt water can't help but feel the rush in the core of their being.

—Rick Chatenever

Truth is: The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little challenges the imagination of most and not only stands out as an incredible photographic collection; it serves as a reminder to all of us that we are just a speck of sand compared to the greatness of nature.

— Lara Vander Ploeg

Clark Little's photography is looming larger by the day. [His] career is likely one of the happiest accidents in the history of the photography business.

— Chris Mauro

Over 182 pages Clark captures turtles frolicking in glass-sculpture barrels, mice setting rail in sandy death-pits, and humans unfortunately positioned between tonnes of water and sand. More than that, it puts you previously unseen places that you physically can’t, or dare not, put yourself in, and it’s these views, from the eye of micro-barrels and the jaws of giant shorebreaks, that will fascinate surfer and non-surfer alike.

— Ben Ey

A view of the sea seldom witnessed except from a surf board. Taken in the surfer's paradise of Hawaii they show breaking waves frozen like ice sculptures, turned into a tunnel of foam and even turned by the setting sun into a wall of emerald green.

This is the big gun, a weighty, magnificently mounted, high-gloss ueber-production of ... pictures of waves. Just waves. But if you've ever been caught in a pounding shore break or slid down the heaving shoulder of locomotive surf, ducking into the curl as water suspends the laws of gravity, you'll recognize the territory. It's magical, page after page of it.

— Burl Burlingame

Sand, water and sunsets – ingredients of any photo book I see here at ISLANDS. But The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little stood out as different. How? Its cover photo had me shuffling for higher ground. Most sane people avoid heavy shore break. For the last three years, Clark has waded into Hawaii’s most deadly beach waves with his camera. The result: 182 pages of imagery that will change your shoreline perspective for life. We can sit in the impact zone and safely ponder views few have ever seen. That’s a luxury that makes this photo book special for any island lover.

— Eddy Patricelli

For years Clark Little has put his life on the line and placed himself in the eye of monstrous shorebreak waves. This 7lb., 12 x12 book reveals his hard-earned visionary quest that deserves to be stared at for some time.

— BNQT / USA Today Sports

When we saw The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little, we were blown away. I highly recommend this book. It has spectacular pictures, some of which you say "That's Impossible. Nobody could have shot that", but he did.

— Michael W. Perry

Clark Little’s recently released coffee table book presents a surprising diversity of images–some enchanting, some astounding–taken at breaks along the North Shore. The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little explores the majesty and grace of the ocean, but what’s most intoxicating here is Little’s eye for its power: these waves collapse and contort in ways we’ve rarely seen, at one moment as panes of glass shattering, the next as molten steel.

— Surfer Magazine

Little uses his surf experience to get right in the curl, producing images that reveal the artistry within the power of these monster waves. The 12" x 12" size affords plenty of room to allow these amazing captures to play out across the page.
