Adam Ravazzano is a lifetime Sunshine Coast, Queensland local who
specializes in shooting empty waves along the Coast.
The former Pro Junior bodyboarding champion is not afraid to put
himself inside or throw himself over the falls in order to capture the
unique view that is the breaking wave.
Matt was born and raised in Sarasota, Florida. His unique view of the ocean and its surroundings can be attributed to growing up on the Gulf Coast.
"I spent a lot of time on the beach and in the water watching 6 inch waves peel, wishing I was small enough to ride them. I was never able to describe to people the way I saw things, especially in the ocean. It wasn't until photography entered my world that I was finally able to do so."
It’s Matt’s passion for the surf and for life which inspire him to capture moments he can share with others in rich, living colors and textures.
Whether he’s photographing in his local beach town of Santa Cruz, California or traveling to spots far or near, his appreciation for the beauty in the world emanates through his work .
Who am I, I am a kid who loves the water. I dream of waves, I dream of getting great shots of waves, preserving the amazing beauty of nature that is untamable. I was untamed; I had no rules from my mom as a single child. I grew up in the Islands of Hawaii, by the beach, in the forest and high in the mountains of Waimea. As a little boy I rode turtles, ran on lava, hunted fish with my spear and surfed. In the forest I raised pigs, ran through the forest with them, riding them, tripping over pot plants. I rode down streams from the mountains to the beach. I loved nature. I grew up naturally, like nature. I see nature and love to shoot it. I especially love the ocean, that it is always changing and never the same; it is something you cannot change or tame but can only capture its rawness, its pure, untainted, un-modified self. I like to shoot pictures of this art, I shoot the beautiful art of surfing, I see surfing as an expression of art, a painting on a wave.
I have a college degree but my education in photography comes from myself. My love of photography has taught me and continues to teach me an incredible amount. I am a boy trapped in a 24-year-old man’s body. I see that boy in the waves, in surfing, that ID, that unrestricted, free flowing dream that we all have in us. Waves and surfing are pure as a young child. In them I see happiness. I see power. I see unlimited freedom. I see beauty. I feel such great emotion. I love it and I share it.
