What a shot! UK photographer captures unbelievable wave face

It’s often said that travel and photography go hand in hand. After a trip, it’s always a great feeling to go back to those pictures and relive those moments for a bit. But, how about the grueling task of going through all those pictures, to pick just the perfect one to appreciate the photographer in you, or say, just post on social media? Well, you might have hated the task for the longest time, but you also know some pictures do come out way better than you have planned.

Same thing happened with photographer Ian Sproat, who found out that of the roughly 4,000 pictures that he took during a 12-hour-long shoot at Roker Pier in Sunderland, he had something so striking that at first, he couldn’t believe. He actually captured waves in the shape of a face at a lighthouse! While talking to the media, he said, "I just thought what the hell?" He added that he started his photography journey two years ago, to cope with mental health issues due to the lockdown because of COVID-19.
He further added that he posted those pictures on his Instagram page, which obviously, went viral, and received immense love and reactions. He captioned it, "Could it be the goddess of water Amphitrite, or our beloved late Queen Elizabeth?"

He further added that this was not the best picture in terms of composition, however, he was delighted with it. He added that he actually struggled through lockdown, and started photography to cope up with the situation.
He elaborated that he needed something to get peace of mind and found that with photography, as you are just in the moment and it takes your mind off of everything else.
