It’s been a while since we last heard from Slovenia-based photographer Luke Paige, but now the master of monochrome has returned for 2017 with a new album of typically dope boardsports shots.

A passionate surfer, the latest series sees Luke head to the beach. Here, the black and white projects a curious feeling of peaceful isolation — the cloud shots more awe-inspiring than they are overwhelming. According to legend, those who surf have always held a special, unexplainable bond with the ocean, and that much is evident here.

Bringing things back to terra firma is a selection of bread and butter skate shots, with slide 15 including the obligatory dope AF architecture.

Check out the gallery above, and let us know which photo is your favorite in the comments below.
