Southern California, late morning. The light is soft and diffused, casting a muted glow over the ocean’s surface where figures move,surfers in wetsuits paddling, swimmers cutting through mist-shrouded water. Ludwig Favre works along the horizon line, where the sky meets the sea in a gradient of blue, the water barely rippling beneath low, diffused light. The texture is one of stillness and motion, the figures half-lost against the expansive, textured horizon.

A wetsuit-clad figure paddles in shallow water, the horizon a gradient of blue without shadow.

The California surf photography series by Ludwig Favre is available as a limited edition fine art print, signed and numbered.
