How does Aleksey Nazarov's surf photography technique enhance his sunset sessions?

In the sunset surf shots, a few things come together to enhance the session feeling:

1. Strong use of filters and color grading to push the warm tones and contrast, so the sunset feels more dramatic than it did in real life (“super filtered”).
2. Framing the surfer small against big sky and water, which emphasizes mood over action.
3. Shooting from the water or very low angle, so the wave lines lead your eye into the light.
