“I want to capture a unique perspective of our beautiful cost”
Jai Wessing is from Esperance in Western Australia and has been an ocean lover his whole life. He spends a huge portion of his spare time in the water either bodyboarding or taking photos of waves and the southern coast in general! He’s been taking photos of waves specifically for about 6 years now and it’s his favourite thing to photograph.
Inspired early
Jai’s motivation comes from the reactions I get from my work as well as capturing unique perspectives of our beautiful coast!
“My inspiration came from Clark Little, I saw his shorebreak photography when I stared high school and I’ve loved ocean photography ever since.”
Epic sets
Jai’s favourite thing about the Great Southern Reef is how epic some of the breaks are.
“Depending on the conditions you can score some insane waves on the reef. The colours of the reef and the clear water is just something else.”
Pristine reefs
Looking ahead Jai would like his photography to show people how beautiful the reefs and the ocean is, especially around the southwest region.
“I want to help protect it from being destroyed by pollution. We are very lucky to have such a great coast!”
