Iconic and viral Australia-born wave photographer, Philip Thurston, has made quite the “splash” on Instagram during 2024. Since May, Philip has gained nearly 500,000 new followers and accumulated 158,000,000+ views on his hypnotic and meditative wave videos.
In a time of constant international stress, anxiety, and worry, the art of Philip Thurston is connecting with a rapidly growing audience to provide a moment of grounding, relaxation, and gratitude.
Apart from Instagram, Philip has began to post these documentary scenes of the breaking wave on YouTube as a part of his “Session Volumes” that integrate art and meditation into a unified experience.
