James Midwinter's work isn't necessarily about the act of surfing, but the time and space around it. It seeks to suggest rather than dictate. Midwinter attempts to conjure a sense of place and evoke an individual response. The viewer is invited to submit to the scene and step away from the distractions of modern life - observe, breath in and imagine themselves in this space, enveloped by the sounds of the rolling sea or the cool stillness.

Midwinter says "I think the aim of my photography is to not only show the world how I see it, but also invite the viewer to hopefully begin experiencing the world differently.. taking time to absorb small moments, the way the sand forms, the way it feels under their feet and the way the air moves around them when they're at the coast"

Midwinter's work aims to show us that surfing is a way to intensely be at one with nature and the book is a reflection of this philosophy, a communion with nature, often free from other aspects of human life. Waiting for a wave is a meditation.
