My photographic approach is drawn for a love of water sports i concentrate on three main pathways which are Surfing, Windsurfing and kite surfing. These are sports that are full of action and visually have a high impact and appeal to even the most Innocent of by standers.
Each one has been influenced by people like Doc Ball and Tom Blake they paved the way for photographers like myself, i use the techniques they forged to produce the images that have become my trade. The way they documented there lives and the up and coming surf culture can been seen in photographs taken by photographers of my generation the angles they used have become part and parcel of surfing photography. As with some of the earlier pioneers of surf photography my image making crosses over into the world of skating it just a stepping stone on the pathway and a building block in the make up of a surf photographer its the easiest way for a surf photographer to learn to use a fisheye lens and how to take photographs by fill rather than by looking through the lens.
