text: They could be depicting the froth off a latte or frosted sea-glass washed ashore, but these unique photographs are actually the surreal moment ocean foam explodes in the air. Ocean photographer Lloyd Meudell started taking images of the sea with a GoPro after being an avid surfer his entire life. He formed an obsession with photography and after purchasing all the high end equipment, he began to shoot ocean foam, calling the venture 'foam surrealism.' 'When the tide is high, the water comes in and it breaks in front of cliffs, explodes into the air and creeps over the sand,' Mr Meudell told Daily Mail Australia. An Ocean photographer has captured the unique and surreal moment ocean foam hits the sand . 'When the tide is high, the water comes in and it breaks in front of cliffs, explodes into the air and creeps over the sand,' he said . 'Taking these sort of images is all I do apart from go to work.' Mr Meudell grew up on the south coast of New South Wales and takes most of his shots on Kiama beach spanning to Gerrigong beach. After receiving emails from potential buyers asking how they can purchase one of his prints, Mr Meudell started a website and he admits the purchasers are not what you'd expect. 'They are for anyone, from any country and it's not just people who love ocean photography that buy these pieces,' he said. 'I surprisingly have a lot of elderly ladies purchase my foam images.' The 40-year-old chooses his time wisely, often waking up at the crack of dawn to get the ultimate shot. 'The best time is always the morning or the evening because that's when you get the beautiful colours,' he said.' Although he has only been taking ocean photos for two years, Mr Meudell's shots draw from works of surrealism such as Salvador Dali and appear very dream-like. Mr Meudell  takes most of his shots on Kiama beach spanning to Gerrigong beach on the south coast of NSW . He uses an EOS 5D Mark III DSLR and numerous lenses to achieve the unique shots but does not reveal settings he uses to keep air of mystery . The 40-year-old advises other budding photographers to familiarise themselves with how the ocean works before getting behind a lens . Mr Meudell uses an EOS 5D Mark III DSLR and numerous lenses to achieve the remarkable shots but admits, as an artist, he regrettably cannot reveal his secrets. 'Through my Instagram and website, I get so many people asking me what shutter speed, ISO and aperture I use,' he said. 'And it's cool they want to do the same thing, but I got out there and did it myself, so that's what I advise others to do.' Mr Meudell instead advises budding photographers to familiarise themselves with how the ocean works before getting behind a lens. 'Spending time in the water and knowing how a wave breaks really helps with this kind of photography,' he said. 'Someone who has never surfed in their life won't pick it up as quick as someone who has spent their whole life surfing.' He also said to start with a GoPro due to their simplicity and build up to a DSLR. 'But on top of everything, make sure you're having fun.'
