Turbulences: film on Teahupo'o, Tahiti underwater photographer Ben Thouard

A portrait of Tahiti-based photographer Ben Thouard as he swims beneath Teahupo'o's thundering waves to capture their violent beauty.

Breathtaking underwater footage of the world's heaviest wave, seen through a photographer's obsessive eye.

As Ben Thouard releases his latest book, “Turbulences”, I am proud to share this short film I made, documenting him in the throughs of his creative process.
