Fiji 2011

Surfer Magazine September 2011

Cover of Kelly Slater from our April trip to Tavarua.  We flew down there for 2 1/2 days and this was shot on the first day of our trip.  I went from the airport straight to the lineup at Cloudbreak.  Never been there before and it was quite a memorable day.

Rob Machado Hurley ad photographed at Oceanside in June

Same day as the photo above but this image was held for editorial for the magazine.  Rob Gilley shot an amazing image about 10 years ago in Oceanside and I've always wanted to shoot in light like that.  This day Rob had gotten home at 2am from a portrait shoot in Los Angeles and after 3 hours of sleep I was at his door picking him up.  We surfed from around 5:45-7:30.  It was really cold, but the light was as good as light gets.  Rob was really cool about getting up early and knew that this day was going to be a special one when we checked the buoys.

This day was a fun day at lowers, nothing epic, just rippable and clean.  Kinda cloudy actually.  While Dane and I were shooting, Kelly came down and surfed too.  Walking back to the car at the end of the day I couldn't resist but snap this photo of the two of them on the tracks.

I am home.  Home is where I am.  It is nice.  It is great.  It is rainy, it is cold, but I couldn't be happier.  I had a great time in Hawaii.  Spent nearly 3 1/2 weeks posted up on the North Shore working on a couple of different projects including an ad campaign for Dragon Eyewear, Bloomingdales, and editorial work for Surfer.  It was a busy couple of weeks of shooting, but I had a blast doing it. Now it is time to sit down and edit all the work I shot from Hawaii.  First stop this morning was dropping off the film from the trip and going through the digital images one by one...Above are a couple snapshots from the trip that caught my attention that are slightly off from what the mags may be looking for, but that doesn't mean there isn't something to them that catches my attention and share my view of the North Shore 2010.

Earlier in the year I did a two part job for Quiksilver for there Spring 2011 swimsuit ad campaign.  The first shoot has yet to be released but the second one just came out!  Here is one of the images being used to celebrate Kelly Slaters 10th World Title..They chose this image to be the headline image of his 10th Championship World Title!!! I will upload more as I get the ok to do so.  I owe a big thank you and CONGRATULATIONS to Kelly and the team at Quiksilver for choosing me to do the shoot (Crawley, Jamie, and Mike) along with Sandrine and Emily at Nouvelle Vague for making it happen!
