My name is Matt Burgess I am an ocean photographer from Australia. I enjoy capturing the ocean in its many moods, one thing that draws me to the water most mornings before the sun rises is the relationship between water and light. I have been capturing ocean images for around 6 years now and to me there is no better way to start the day.

I am currently living in Victoria, Australia.

The interior ripples and the soft lighting gives the image a glossy look that mimics the texture of ice... if I didn't know it was a crashing wave, I'd have thought it was frozen aftermath of a strong blizzard...

People don't understand the enormity of the oceans. I have dove in them and it's another world.

I agree with your second statement Pattie. I am a certified open water scuba diver and have been in the depths of our vast oceans. It truly feels like a foreign world below the surface..

    This would have been taken seriously by me if it wasn't called "ocean fries".

    If you stand in the sand where two waves are going to collide this is what you will see. If the waves are Large then you will be in the middle with kersplash all over you and it is so cool.

    I love water and oceans. You're pics are amazingly beautiful. I am wondering how much time and effort you've put to get these pictures. One thing is for sure you're a person with tremendous patience and eye for beauty.
