These awesome photos, in which rolling waves appear to be both perfectly frozen in time and miraculously made solid, are the work of French photographer Pierre Carreau.
Carreau “shoots waves with a variety of high speed cameras using various macro and wide angle lenses, capturing water shapes that appear more sculptural than liquid.”
Visit his Pierre Carreau’s website to view many more examples of his amazing work. He also offers prints of some of his images via Clic Gallery.

“Large moth soft sculpture made from new and vintage velvets, cottons and upholstery fabrics. A plump body is pulled tight with stitching and ribbed to mimic a chubby moths shape. Permanently stiff wings are folded back and her little legs hold her in a friendly stance. Flaws, age marks,rusty pin marks and odd stitching are celebrated and are to expected. A gentle tea wash lightly ages each piece and pulls all the colours together with inks, acrylic paints and watercolours.”
