Newquay is home to some of the UK's most iconic surf spots, each offering something completely different. From the world-famous waves of Fistral Beach to the expansive coastline of Watergate Bay, and the sheltered corners around Towan Beach and Porth Beach, there's a wave for almost every surfer and condition. Knowing where to go depends on the swell, wind, tide, and your ability level.

Every surf photography session is completely unique, which means there isn't a one-size-fits-all price. Factors such as location, session length, whether the shoot is land-based or in the water, the number of people involved, and the intended usage of the images can all influence the final cost. Whether you're looking for personal surf photos, family beach memories, or commercial content, I'll always tailor the session to your specific needs.

In-water surf photography involves the photographer entering the ocean alongside surfers to capture unique perspectives that simply aren't possible from the beach. Using specialist waterproof equipment and years of ocean experience, it's possible to create immersive images that place the viewer right in the heart of the action. The result is a far more personal and dynamic view of a surf session, showcasing not just the waves, but the emotion, energy, and atmosphere of being in the water.

The best surf photographs are often created during the first and last few hours of daylight, when the sun sits lower in the sky and produces softer light, richer colours, and more dramatic conditions. However, every session is different, and factors such as tide, swell direction, weather, and beach location can sometimes make the middle of the day the best option. Great surf photography is all about combining the right light with the right conditions.

Surf photography isn't just about capturing someone riding a wave, it's about capturing how a moment felt. My approach focuses on creating images with depth, atmosphere and emotion rather than simply documenting the action. I'm naturally drawn to unique lighting, dramatic weather, rich colours and the often overlooked moments that happen between waves.

Rather than relying solely on standard surf shots, I aim to create imagery that feels more cinematic, artistic and personal. From vibrant sunsets and moody winter swells to intimate surf portraits and abstract ocean textures, every image is carefully composed to tell a story and create something that stands apart from the ordinary.
