Larn Berge, Where Light Moves (PLACES WILDERNESS 2025)

Where Light moves - Kairakau Beach, New Zealand. At the meeting point of ocean and stone, the rising sun set the waves ablaze, moments of power, motion, and light etched into the rugged coast. This shoot was one hell of a mission, a 40 minute walk along the wild coastline, wading waist-deep through the ocean at times just to reach the spot. To capture the images I had in mind, I had to stand in the surf, getting battered by the waves, with thousands of dollars of gear at risk. Every second was worth it and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
