The Next Wave is Fiona Basile’s latest photographic coffee table book that celebrates an ever growing and diverse community of open water swimmers in bayside Melbourne.

Immerse is Fiona Basile’s internationally award winning photographic coffee table book that celebrates the beauty of the ocean and the joy of a special open water swimming community.

Hi, I'm Fiona.

I tell stories that help people see what matters. Through photography, writing and beautifully crafted books, I capture the people, places and moments that reveal the beauty of everyday life, celebrate connection, and preserve stories for generations to come.

I believe there is more that connects us than divides us, and that when we truly listen to one another's stories, we begin to understand both ourselves and each other a little more deeply.
