The Sea

Following the international success of "The Sea, Abrams' deluxe, oversize volume of photographs by Philip Plisson, "The Sea/Day by Day offers a new compilation of the acclaimed marine photographer's work in an affordable, compact format. These spectacular images, including almost 200 new photographs, are the result of Plisson's 25-year obsession with the planet's waters, capturing the sea in all its power, drama, and changeability.
We see crashing waves, placid waters, jagged rocks rising from foamy mists, and the overwhelming force of the currents, as well as sailboat regattas and races on the high seas. From solitary lighthouses to seaside communities, Plisson's photographs also explore our desire to live close to the ocean and the need to adapt to its rhythms. A book for photography lovers and open-sea adventurers alike, this breathtaking volume celebrates, in 365 of Plisson's most evocative images, our never-ending fascination with the sea.
