'IMMERSIVE' By Bill Ward

Foreword: By Doug Chinnery

Multi-award winning photographer and actor Bill Ward is absolutely delighted to announce the launch of “IMMERSIVE”, his very first book with Kozu Books!

“IMMERSIVE” is his pioneering Ocean ICM project, a groundbreaking 4 year investigation into water, energy and movement, and what happens when you physically get into the sea with a wetsuit, waterproof housing and a moving camera, and become literally immersed within, and surrounded by, the very thing you’re photographing.

A surfer for over 30 years, Bill has long been interested in the energy of the ocean, and what happens when that energy transfers itself to the land. He’s also been at the vanguard of Intentional Camera Movement in the UK since 2012. A few years ago he started to investigate what might happen if he put his two very favourite things together, and put a moving camera into the path of a breaking wave. This book is a celebration of, and a meditation on, the results… the visceral sensation of being not just an observer of Poseidon’s watery kingdom, on the outside looking in, but an active participant.

All the photographs in this collection were taken with long exposures and a moving camera out amongst the breaking waves in, on, or underneath the ocean with Pentax DSLRs, C-Skin wetsuits and EWA-Marine Waterproof Housing.
