EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Olivier MORIN, we witness the sheer beauty and thrill of surfing in an unexpected location - Norway's Lofoten Islands. Surfer Anker Olsen Frantzen, a mere 17 years old, fearlessly rides a wave under the vibrant hues of a rainbow during a free surf session on September 26,2018. The image perfectly encapsulates the juxtaposition between the raw power of nature and the indomitable spirit of human adventure. As Frantzen gracefully glides across the water, his silhouette stands out against the dramatic backdrop of towering cliffs and misty mountains that characterize this remote region within the Arctic Circle. This photograph was taken on the eve of an extraordinary event - Lofoten Masters 2018. Known as one of the most northern surf contests in existence, it is set to take place from September 27 to 30 in Unstad. The competition attracts skilled surfers from around the world who are drawn to these icy waters for their unique challenges and breathtaking scenery. MORIN's lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions ranging from awe-inspiring wonder to adrenaline-fueled excitement. It serves as a reminder that even amidst seemingly inhospitable environments, humans can find ways to connect with nature and push boundaries beyond what is expected.
