Freedom looks like a lot of things on the coast, but few images capture it as directly as Chasing Waves. A carefree dog runs the shoreline while surfers ride the last light of day behind it, the whole scene rendered in timeless black and white. It's movement, energy, and coastal life distilled into a single frame — one of the most kinetic pieces in the collection, and one of the most joyful.
Motion as the main subject
Where a lot of coastal photography favors stillness, Chasing Waves is built entirely around motion: paws in the sand, surfers catching a final wave, the fading light of a day that isn't quite ready to end. The black and white treatment keeps that energy from tipping into chaos, letting shape, contrast, and movement carry the composition instead of color. It's surf art and dog art in the same frame, and the combination gives it a genuine sense of story — not a posed shot, but a real moment caught mid-motion.
Rooms that want a little energy
Chasing Waves works best in spaces where a room's mood could use some life:
- Living rooms and family rooms, where its motion makes it an easy anchor for a gathering space
- Beach house entryways, setting an energetic, welcoming tone right away
- Bedrooms or offices for surfers, dog owners, or anyone who misses the beach on a Tuesday
- Larger statement walls, where its scale options let it genuinely command a room
Because the image reads well from a distance, it's also a strong choice above a sofa, console, or fireplace — anywhere you want a wall to feel alive without needing to stand close to appreciate it.
Designing around it
Chasing Waves' black and white palette makes it flexible: it pairs with warm woods and linen for a relaxed beach house feel, or with crisp white walls and black hardware for something more modern and graphic. As far as home decor goes, this is a piece that brings genuine energy to a room's interior design without forcing a full coastal theme around it — it works as easily in a city apartment as it does two blocks from the water.
Chasing Waves is a limited edition of just ninety-nine, available unframed or in Oak, White, and Black frames, across five statement sizes from 20 × 15″ up to a wall-defining 64 × 48″.
Going big with a statement size
With sizes running all the way up to 64 × 48″, Chasing Waves is one of the few pieces in the collection built to genuinely fill a large wall on its own — above a long sofa, across a stairwell landing, or as the centerpiece of an open-concept living space. At that scale, the motion in the photograph becomes even more immersive, almost putting you on the sand alongside the dog and the surfers. A Black frame reinforces the graphic, high-contrast feel at larger sizes, while the unframed canvas option keeps a big piece from feeling heavy in a lighter, more minimal room.
Chasing Waves also pairs naturally with the rest of our black and white coastal photography, from a lone breaking wave to a quiet lighthouse beam, if you're building out a larger wall rather than choosing a single piece. Keep the frame finish consistent across the group and let the compositions themselves provide the variety — motion here, stillness elsewhere, each piece giving the next a little more room to breathe.
If your walls could use a little more motion and a little more freedom, get creative with your walls with a piece built around chasing the good moments. Shop the "Chasing Waves" and bring the energy of the coast home.
