Everyone would love to combine their passion and their job, and the image of the job of surf photographer is totally glamorous and alluring: getting paid to travel to exotic locations and shoot stunning images. But how do you get started?

In surf photogrpahy a great lineup shot has the ability to inspire and convey emotion in a way that many action shots never can. Also, there are dozens of surf photographers these days either in the water or on land when the surf’s good, so if you don’t have a big lens or water housing you’ve got a much better chance of getting a lineup shot published.

Hello and welcome to my surf photography (mostly, I’ll also be talking about portraits, seascapes and so on too) blog. If you’re interested in taking better photos of waves, surfers, people and seascapes, this is the place for you.
