No wonder it's a great source of untapped energy. It seems unimaginable trying to tame such [incredible swells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standing-wave-house). Yet there are people out there that do -- just in a much more recreational way/ Focusing on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia, Warren Keelan captures the waves in a few different ways. Sometimes he is even submerged completely underwater to focus on a unique perspective of the waves. Although his process is daring, he does it to share this natural beauty with the world. He says, "I love the raw, unpredictable nature of water in motion and the way [sunlight brings it all to life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-safety-installation), from both above and below the surface." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ocean Energy Harvesting:** Capturing the power of the ocean for renewable energy sources. - **Extreme Water Sports:** Exploring recreational activities in challenging water environments. - **Underwater Photography:** Capturing unique perspectives of waves from beneath the surface. ### Who This Affects Most - **Renewable Energy:** Exploring innovative ways to harness the power of the ocean for sustainable energy production. - **Extreme Sports Equipment:** Developing specialized gear and equipment for extreme water sports. - **Photography Equipment:** Creating waterproof and durable cameras for capturing underwater photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md) - [Global Surf Video Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swell-diary.md) - [Eco Oceanic Energy Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waveline-magnet-concept-design.md) - [Water Movement Sculptural Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inner-waves.md) - [Kinetic Waterfront Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterfront-installation.md) - [Artful Sculptural Ceramic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-collection-1.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Oceanic-Themed Playful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-cober.md)
