Roland Kraemer Fell in Love with the Ocean While Photographing Waves

"I didn't know how much I needed the ocean in my life and how calm I feel being close to it", says Roland Kraemer. As someone raised in southern Germany, Roland was more of a mountain person who loved the chill of the high altitude air against his face. A road trip to the beaches of France changed this attitude completely, and he found himself being drawn to the sea on an almost daily basis for 5 weeks.
