Under the Wedge

• Photographer
  Maria Isabel Reverberi, United States

"Under the Wedge" documents surfers determined to ride the large wedge shaped waves at The Wedge, a popular surfing spot located at the end of the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, CA. On this particular day, these fellows decided to compete against each other at the sight of my camera and lens. Images were taken with a 400mm lens and shot on Delta 3200 Professional film. RC prints were enhanced for the web.
