charly rusconi, Close up (SINGLE SHOT 2021)

While standing by Wollongong lighthouse to capture one of the biggest swell I have ever witnessed, another photographer came along and tried to get close to the break wall. I knew it was just a matter of minutes before he would get wet so I waited patiently for disaster to happen. Surely enough a massive wave came and he got so soaked that I don’t think his camera survived.
