About the Book
a landmark in one of the most famous surf locations in the world.
On that morning, the 2nd of January 2015, I wanted to get back in the surf and
challenge myself. I wanted to put myself into unique situations, which would
give me the opportunity to capture unique surf images.
At first, the quality of the images wasn’t that great but I liked what I had captured in
terms of shapes, colours and patterns. I knew I could tastefully enhance the
images and work on composition to create something special.
Since that summer morning, I have had many three, four and even five hours sessions
in the surf. It went from the beginning of our summer, through autumn and
the beginning of winter. But to me, it felt just like a long summer.
And a new beginning.

About the Creator
Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Alberto discovered his passion for the ocean at an early age. From bodysurfing on his dad’s back to competing as a surfer, and later working a commercial diver, he knew the ocean was where he belonged. Photography also helped define who Alberto wanted to be. From a young age he collected images from surfing, diving and adventure magazines. Arriving in Australia in 1987, the gifted free-surfer and developing image maker settled in Adelaide where he started to pursue a career in photography. For many years Alberto studied, worked and breathed photography. Through a camera lens, Alberto harnesses the energy of waves to capture the wild beauty of the ocean. His work is a vivid exploration of the relationship between humans and the sea. "I think my photography is the result of my life experiences. My projects are on cultures, people and the ocean."
