Instructor Bio:
I've been taking surf photos and video for over 20 years. After producing a couple of surf action videos I started taking photography more seriously about ten years ago.
I set up the learningsurfphotography.com website in 2012 to document my progress and create a resource for other people in my position.
Since the site has grown, I hear from more and more people who say it's one of the few sources of surf photography specific information they can find online.
The learning surf photography course grew from the answers to hundreds of questions through email, comments on the site, and messages through Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
I hope this course can help you avoid the time consuming and expensive trial and error process of learning the foundations of surf photography, and inspire you to create surf photos you're proud of.
