Experience the ocean like never before—serene, savage, and sublime—through the lens of acclaimed National Geographic photographer Ray Collins.

In this sweeping visual ode to the sea, celebrated ocean photographer Ray Collins transforms the ocean surf into cliffs, peaks, and arresting artistry in this gorgeous collection from National Geographic.
A coal miner turned surf photographer, Collins has traveled the world chasing towering, dangerous waves, putting his life and equipment on the line to capture “the ocean as a living, breathing thing.” Among the 200-plus images in this collection, experience the ocean from Collins’s perspective as he captured images:

• harnessed from a helicopter in Hawaii
• swimming in below-freezing Atlantic seas
• sailing uninhabited island chains of the Indonesian archipelago, and
• racing toward a once-in-a-lifetime Tahitian mega swell

With Collins’s deeply personal connection to the sea, his passion and daring work is a celebration of nature’s beauty. These are images you’ll want to display on your bookshelf and coffee table and treasure for a lifetime.
