The Surf photography/Art thread

Whoring myself a little here, but this is the surf photography tread (and lets face it, Iv done a whole lot worse)

Here is my all singing, all dancing, swish new site!!!

www.johnbeasley.ie

(right, I lied, no singing, I hate music on sites and I aint got enough rhythm to dance but there are lots of nice surf shots, here)

Someone asked a while back about getting photos done for surf sessions, something Im currently looking into if anyone is interested.

Have a look around and let me know what ye think

Lovely photographs John. I'd imagine any surfer looking for photographs of themselves would love one of your photos. Great composition.

I've been doing a series of Irish waves for an exhibition in Kenny's in Galway during the volvo race. It's opening tonight if you're around Galway and fancy a look and will be on till mid july.

Amazing pics John, are some of them for sale?

Low Pockets

Hi Merkin, thanks, yeah pretty much everything is for sale.
I have a shop almost set up to go with the site but Iv two other projects on the go at the moment so Im just finding it hard to get the time to get the shop finalized.

Shoot me a email on what ever your interested in and we can work something out. Thanks for the interest.

Beautyfull picture, Fergal Smiths doing cool stuff lately, some man. That new vid roar power is amazing. Theres a short documentary about a couple of the photographers that shoot the top pro guys at pipe line and tahiti etc, I saw it recently on utube its worth a watch, they are brave men indeed they take a lot of punishment to get some of those shots, going over the falls, fin strikes, I wonder how much you could make in a good days holding your breath:) ??

Link to the documentary?

Could you stay as deep as that in 10 foot waves here as he does, or would a 5mm suit just make you too bouyant to dive under those monsters constantly for a whole sesh on our bigger spots or slabby waves? not that im going to try it.
