Tim McKenna is a Australian surf photographer now living in Tahiti documenting the extreme nature of the surfing on the islands. His image of Larid Hamilton surfing one of the heaviest waves ever surf is most likely the most famous photograph of his generation having graced the covers of surf magazines and news papers the world over.
Regraded as one of the top modern surf photographers and at the cutting edge of the industry pushing the limits of what is possible in and out of the water. You can see the similarities between McKenna's images today and the image of the early greats like Warren Bolster and Ron Stoner. The layout's in the traditions of surf photography they invented and the angles they choose are very much still in use today.
