Holly Walsh- Weekly Post #6

Pierre Carreau

Pierre Carreau captures ocean waves with his camera in his home in the Caribbean. His current work focuses on the paradox between of the power and fragility of waves. In waves he finds emotions, which he wishes to carry to his viewers. He sees that each of his wave images speak differently to viewers depending on the state that they are in. His goal is to “transfer the waves’ energy to those who view them.”


His work relies heavily on light. The light coming from the sun at different times of the day changes the entire color scheme of his subject. All color in his photos is absorbed from the world around him. Water basically has no color so all that is really seen is the light refractions and color reflections from his surroundings combined with the grace and majesty of breaking waves.
