01 · In the lineup

Surf

Session shoots from the beach and from the water. Clean frames of the turn, the spray and the wait between sets.

Surfer with arms spread wide in front of exploding whitewater — Arms wide open

02 · Below the surface

Underwater

Freediving, reef and wreck, much of it on film with a Nikonos V. Natural light, no strobes, one breath at a time.

03 · Slow down

Wellness

Yoga, retreats and the people who teach them. Soft light, real places, nothing staged in a studio.

04 · Off the ground

Adventure

Highlines, cliff jumps, climbing and the roads in between. I rig, hike and hang alongside the athletes to get the angle.

Video from the water: shooting surf on a Nikonos V, the amphibious film camera, with the camera half above and half below the surface.

I shoot short films for surf schools, brands and athletes: in-water angles, behind-the-scenes and edits cut for Instagram and reels.
