SA Surf Photographer of the Year nominee

SA Surf Photographer of the Year nominee


I have been named as one of the eight SA Surf Photographer of the Year nominees. We were asked to select 10 of our favorite images from the past year (Jan2009-June2010), it is no simple task whittling things to a handful of photographs. Whilst there are photos that jump out and stick in your mind marking themselves as no brainers for such things there are photos which have to fight for your attention amongst a handful of other equally impressive images.

I chose my Top 10 surf related photographs, they do not give a full representation of the surf lifestyle but more so of what I love about surf photography, the photography that butters my bread.

At the moment the galleries are only open for viewing on the ZigZag website with voting live from Friday 18 June 2010. You can view mine and the others of Greg Ewing, Louis Wulff, Alan Van Gysen, Craig Kolesky, Richard Johnson, Richard Hambloch and Luke Patterson.

The final decision will be based on 50% online votes and 50% from a panel of two judges including non other than Mr Chris Van Lennep himself. The winner will be announced at the awards function on 4 July 2010.
