Thouard’s photos are somehow crisp and clear, even amidst the chaos of the crashing waves. The deep blue and silvery hues transport you to a tranquil, other-worldly place, where surfers go for a few moments after catching a wave and before they surface for a breath. His photos take you below the surfer as he or she rides a wave, appearing as little more than a blurry shadow when viewed from beneath.
