I took this photo while diving under a wave just as it was crashing. For a split second, everything looked soft and wild—like the ocean was painting with foam. It’s messy, beautiful, and gone in an instant. This picture captures that one chaotic moment where everything comes together just right.

Born in Colombia and raised between the vibrant streets of Miami and the diverse culture of the Bay Area, Juan Arbelaez developed an eye for blending contrasts. His love for surfing took root while living in Santa Barbara, where the ocean became both a passion and a muse. Eventually, he found himself in Puerto Rico, where he refined his craft in surf photography.
Juan’s work is a reflection of his journey—merging the raw beauty of nature with the pulse of modern urban life. Through No Service, he invites viewers to step away from the noise and let the wilderness in.
