Jonathan Nimerfroh

Overview

To call Jonathan Nimerfroh obsessed with the ocean is like saying birds are obsessed with the wind. The award-winning photographer has immersed himself in saltwater swells for more than 20 years, telling saturated stories through photography.

 

You might remember his "slurpee wave" photographs of nearly freezing Nantucket swells a few years ago from your social media channel of choice or even Good Morning America. That wave also crested across The Evening News with David Muir, Yahoo.com, filled a half-page printed in the Saturday edition of the New York Times, and washed up later in Rolling Stone, the Huffington Post, Town & Country and a slew of others.

 

When he's not pointing his camera at waves, you'll likely find Jonathan riding them. Even the semi-frozen ones.

 

He is available for commercial and editorial assignments worldwide. Recent clients include: Spindrift, OutsideTV, Rainbow Sandals, Faherty Brand, The Howler Brothers and Donelan Family Wines.

 

Jonathan’s work is exhibited exclusively at the Samuel Owen Gallery.
