Will Adler

Photographer Will Adler captures surfers in action in sublime, light-infused images highlighting the unique culture and splendor of the sport. Spanning stunning shorelines, from Baja to Manhattan Beach, Mexico to Hawaii, Adler tactfully observes the frequent serenity and beauty of surfing, rather than the typically depicted chaotic high action. During COVID-19, Adler shifted his attention to photographing marquee texts posted at Southern California schools and throughout Santa Barbara, poignant reminders of how drastically life has changed during the pandemic.
