See Through the Lens of the World's Best Underwater Surf Photographer | Ben Thouard in “Surface"

- SURFACE, a ROAM Original, is the story of how award-winning photographer Ben Thouard invented a new perspective of our world-shot underwater from inside a wave looking back at the landscape as never seen before. His love of the ocean, surfing, and windsurfing brought him to the small village of Teahupoo, Tahiti, where he can see the legendary surf break from his backyard. From the crystal clear waters of French Polynesia, his creative vision and desire to do something original took hold. After 15 years of trial and error, failure and success, he persevered to discover his own signature photographic style, as seen in his stunning new book, SURFACE. He hopes this new vision of our oceans, in their most pristine form, will inspire others to protect them. “Through this work, I hope people can realize that we need to take care of our garbage and recycle all of the plastic,” says Ben.

So I’m guessing they used the second best underwater photographer to record him? Lol
true.
To say anyone is 'the best' at any art is a strange claim
Hahaha. I'm the worlds best at something subjective and unable to rank....weird flex but ok
That was his wife who is second photographer.
@@gibbethoskins8621 agreed. stupid title. brilliant video. stunning work.
Credit to the guy or girl videoing him as he gets shots of the waves
3:25 was an awesome shot
They were all amazing shots!
Yes they were
unsung ...
thats what i also thought
3:31 - 3:36 how about these shots? I think the one took the photo is flying
Here is a man doing life properly.

i guess, he's a "content" person, what more can you wish for?
tom7865 true
Yeah contributing fuck all to the future of the planet, but yeah doing life properly. Epic
We need more video like this on youtube
that would be boring.
Make some
@@PhilipDosa I try to. Well, its a progress. You can see how i will get there soon hopefully. Remember im a kid with a Laptop and a Gopro. Cheers.
Ok boomer
Fantasy 'Eystique nectar elitism he naturãlez before Die heroin's....Yeah why knot's
This is one of those really inspirational videos that really makes me want to pack my bags and start a career in photography
But then you sit back down on your couch and watch more youtube
Yeah thinking about that also
Get a camera, and look what you can do with it. Experiment, have fun, work hard and maybe one day you're able to be a professional.
The opportunity is there man. It's not just a dream anymore, in today's age, it's a possibility
next video....
50k views for this masterpiece are ridiculous.
I also see 10 dislikes, envy is a bad beast...
Mind blowing.
I hope the dislikers shirt sleeves will slide down while washing hands
Simply amazing!
To this day the viewers increased up to 75%. Dislikers? 750%!! Unhappy, negative people is growing. I pray the Lord for you and ask for them too
Most beautiful video I have seen in a long time.
me too
Same - visually and audibly
Not enough girls in bikini so I had to give it a vote down. Whats the point of surf but that?

@@lukaseabourne-carlin442 actually he meant *cinematography :)
The way you can see the mountains through the waves is so freaking awesome and stunning.
Huge respect, he's basically using the wave as a lens
Exquisite imagery, sound production, editing. This is a masterpiece

Incredible! I love swimming in the ocean. I find it calming when you lie down on the floor of the ocean and you look up and watch the surface of the water. Thanks for sharing!
Wow.....the images had me viewing the distant land through the eyes of Mother Nature....this is Art.
This is mesmerising how peaceful it is under water the light is beautiful and the massive waves that could easily knock you out are so calm and clear
You have to imagine the thousands and thousands of hours spent in the water to get those beautiful images. Congratulations for this fantastic job.
"I couldn't even imagine today being away from the ocean." I know exactly how you feel.
This video brought tears to my eyes. The beauty of those waves, those pictures, the videos captured... I am at awe. Amazing photographer and amazing videographer! 😍
This photography evoked such awe in me it brought tears to my eyes. It took me back to peering through waves much like that while snorkeling as a kid. I think now what I thought then: that looking through the window of the wave is some sort of divine gift which might otherwise be reserved for the gods. It's a rare work that can call forward such strong feelings. Super commendable!
I feel this ♥️
You've gone a long ways towards encapsulating my love of surfing, the ocean, photography and some very special times, places and people in my life! I look forward to more of your work. Thank you ~
Absolument splendide! Digne de l'Oscar du court métrage. Meilleure photographie qu'il est possible d'admirer; la vue d'un poisson littéralement. Mille mercis à Ben qui apporte une dimension jusque là négligée.
Ben, you are the most innovative, dedicated and accomplished photographer I have ever seen! Your work is in a class by itself and an absolute thrill to experience!
A powerful reminder that when we believe we got something unique to supply this world with, we shall never stop til we achieve it.Thank you for bringing your magnificent vision to us humans!
Amazing images ive been swimming in the ocean for almost 40 years and i've never seen those beautiful rings previously, God bless you brothers the ocean is the perfect world...thanks for sharing..from El Salvador Central America best wishes to you all,.....ENJOY IT!...
Those shots are AMAZING! Next level, spiritual even.
Thank you for loading it up, the nature's beauty gives relaxing sensation.
My heart trembles in the beauty world where the waves make!
Through his camera, the wave takes the literal shape of an eye and the ocean glimpses the land before blinking shut and the wave closes. The wave becomes a lens in front of the lens of the camera.
Very beautiful .
Great imagery Ben, Next level through the wave landscapes, brilliant!
I would love to see a full documentary on this subject. Amazing videography and I admire the photographers passion for his work.
This is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful imagery, beautiful story. I love this.
AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL. When i watch this, i feel like i really want to be a waterman. Huge. Thanks.
Gorgeous Sir! Major Thanks and Blessings to You & Your Family💚💛❤️
Tout simplement..
MAGNIFIQUE 🤗👍
It has always been a dream of mine to do underwater photography. This is beyond amazing!
I love this. Even at the beach I make sure to be able to go far enough out that I can float and peer up at the sun as it disperses through the waves. The oceans calm strong waves guiding me to and from reality. It’s like being reborn. Getting to watch videos of this is the next best thing.
That is magical footage, nature can be so awe inspiring if captured.
My mind is officially blown. This is AWESOME.
Me: Watches one surf video
CZcams: Here is your new feed with 80% surf videos
Magnifique! It is so rare for an artist to be able to literally find and then pioneer a niche, and then to do it well. I hope he also has large prints for sale in Galleries, they really are awesome!!
he nailed it!! unbelievable photography skills!
May I be so bold as to say , for the 35+ generations, ur photos or more your videos u captured with great dance music, we love it ... and dance to the bliss of under water and on screen just dance to your magic u captured. 🤞🏼✊🏼👍🏼👌🏼🤘
Wow! Next level for sure, thank you for sharing those precious moments...
sick!! This guy and Russel Ord are my all time favourite water photographers.The video editing and background music gave me chills.
This is amazing! The dedication to articulate his work is unbelievable. This is like a whole new world inside our own world... masterpiece! 👌🏄♂️🌊
Absolutely stunning! Nothing else needed
So beautiful thank you for sharing through your eyes. Things I'll never get to see or experience. Awesome...
As I sit here in awe after watching this amazing video on December 16, 2019 I realize there are at least 94 people on this earth that are either jealous and lack any creative talent or they’re just blind and shouldn’t be liking or disliking the video in the first place. If in case it is the latter, I apologize.
For all you negative Nancy’s, get off your couch and or computer and at least go take a walk outside. It won’t hurt you, trust me.
