Appreciation towards Pierre Carreau for providing the following description：

出身于1972年来自法国巴黎的专业摄影师Pierre Carreau自幼在家庭氛围的熏陶下，对艺术有着深厚的领悟，他后来选择做一个专业摄影师。他从小就着迷海洋，喜欢玩水，第一个摄影工作便与海洋冲浪有关。

Pierre CARREAU–Showing the invisible to create liquid sculptures…Pierre Carreau was born in 1972 near Paris surrounded by artistic influences. His family includes a photographer, a talented sculptor and painters. Despite this artistic upbringing Pierre graduated university with a degree in business. After several years working in the Information Technology industry he decided to respect his soul and become a professional photographer.

他专注的研究波浪形状，让这些来自遥远地方的传播力如玻璃或者金属雕塑的那一美丽瞬间被镜头捕捉。Pierre Carreau说世界上没有相同的浪花，小小的波浪比大浪潮更有意思和细节。除了对器材的要求，Pierre Carreau认为摄影时对自然光的控制也相当重要。

雕塑般的浪花上面闪耀着诗般光彩。

Since he was a child Pierre is fascinated by the ocean. He loves playing with all water gear that allow him to enjoy the wind and waves. Naturally, his first photography projects were capturing action shots for surf or kitesurf magazines and water sport equipment manufacturers.

Pierre works intensively on his project “AquaViva”, a study of wave shapes.

“I like the fact that this energy comes from far away to be revealed on our beaches”.

These images mix power and fragility. Like glass or metallic sculpture, they bring us momentary treasures created by nature.

Each wave is different and a single wave offers various beautiful shapes and light reflexion. However to get a good picture, the process is extensive. Pierre has to take hundreds of shots to capture the right moment. In his words : “digital photography and the best camera/lens are absolutely necessary to create my images. Technology allows me to make it possible”.

Pierre has found small waves to be more interesting to him as they show details and transparency that are not visible on huge waves.

A perfect control of natural light is also important for the visual impact of his project. Pierre always says : “a photographer is literally someone who writes with light”.
