Movement Issue 39 | Mitch Rawlins COVER...

... as a photographer, the pinnacle of respect for your work is when a magazine calls you to let you know that they have placed your image as the face of their next issue.

After years of shooting, this shot of Mitch Rawlins on the front of Issue 39 of Movement Bodyboard Magazine is my very first cover.

I was as proud as punch, but even prouder that I had 6 more double page spreads within the issue.

Below are the featured images of Mitch, Brad Hughes, James Purvis, Scott Rigby and Brendon Backshall...

Movement 37 | Mitch Rawlins

Turn to page 50 of the new Movement Magazine (Issue 37, out now!) and you'll see this spread of Mitch Rawlins that I shot at an infamous wedge in WA's Southwest a few months back. It's not your typical glossy double page spread, but then again Mitch isn't your typical run of the mill body boarder!

Movement 36 | Grand Flavour | Chad Jackson...

The team at Grand Flavour recently approached me to shoot an ad for the latest Issue of Movement with  team rider Chad Jackson. We had limited time to shoot the ad, in fact only a matter of hours as the deadline for the magazine was the following day. 

Chad and I had already nailed an epic invert shot (as below) from a few weeks prior, so all we had to do was shoot the portrait. Easier said than done, especially when you have to shoot a Winter campaign when the temperature is still 30 degrees plus.

The GF creative team had an idea of what they wanted, Chad and I just needed to make it happen. So we put our heads together, grabbed a hose, a portable dual flash set-up, a worthy assistant and a bit of trial and error and came up with the goods!

I was really happy with how the shot came out, especially with the pressure we were under. the lens flair that you see on the portrait was completely natural and I think it adds a little something to the image.

Movement 36 | Billabong | Mitch Rawlins...

... also featured in Issue 36 of Movement Mag, is the below Billabong Ad of Mitch Rawlins! The most amazing thing about this image and the previous post of Jake Stone, is that the 2 photos were taken less than 1 minute apart! If only all my shoots were this productive!

Movement 36 | VS | Jake Stone...

... Open up the latest issue of Movement Bodyboard Magazine (36) and on the inside cover you will see an image that VS Bodyboards have used for an ad! I love getting to shoot with Jake Stone, he's as unpredictable in the water as he is out of it! Check it out!

Twice as Nice...

... the new Movement Mag has hit the shelves and within it you'll find not one, but two ads of Ryan Hardy using my images. Two of his biggest supporters in VS bodyboards and Creatures Surf Accessories chose images of mine for print! Stoked!
