The word ‘Anarchic’ refers to a subject with ‘no controlling rules or principles to give order’. This is how I feel about the ocean sometimes. This particular wave is situated in an extremely remote location of the south west coast of Australia and it’s really only accessible by a powered vessel. When you finally arrive there after a long time fighting chop and freezing cold winds, you are greeted by shapes and structures performing in an unexplainable and fascinatingly unique way. It’s an arena of colliding forces and defiance of gravity. Shooting out there is a balance of both excitement and nervousness, because you never really know what’s going to happen next, and you never know if what happens, will ever happen again. I’ve sat for many, many hours in anticipation out there, with my finger on the trigger, waiting to capture the alignment of light and unconventional oceanic behaviour. When this moment happened I didn’t even realise it at first, it wasn’t until i was going back on land scrolling through my photos that I noticed the polar opposite directions of the breaking wave, almost like a meeting of parallel universes.
Photographed in The Deep South West, Western Australia.

About Phil Thurston
Phil Thurston is a wave-loving storyteller whose camera doesn’t just take photos — it channels the raw energy of nature into art. Growing up by the coast with two older surfing brothers, Phil discovered early on that while the surfboard wasn’t for him, the ocean’s beauty called out for a different kind of response: the lens. At 17, on his first trip to Hawaii, he traded waves for a camera and began a lifelong pursuit of capturing the divine choreography of light, water, and motion. For Phil, photography isn’t about creating — it’s about showing up at the right moment, recognising the ocean’s own artistry, and preserving those fleeting treasures for the world to see. Based on Australia’s south-east coast, he’s travelled to wild, remote places in search of breaking waves and elemental events, crafting images that speak of wonder, faith, and a deeper sense of purpose — an invitation to view creation not just through the eye, but through the heart.

“Waves are very beautiful and even symbolic, and I’m learning to see a lot more in a photograph than elegantly organised matter." The cooperation of light and water create a subject that compels me to seek something more profound and artistically inclined than that which my eyes reveal to me. When I’m immersed in nature, I see intelligent design, I see intentional energy and i see irrefutable purpose in every aspect of every detail, but above all this, I see a very clear, artistic flare woven through every living and moving thing."
