The night before your planned surf session call me on the mobile
0415 807 627. We have a chat and discuss local break options.
Call a friend or two as the shoot often works well with friends
in the water. If the surf is cracking it's most likely I will
be out shooting somewhere anyway, so it's just a case of meeting
up at the same spot. If the surf is epic, I have locations picked
out that I need to shoot so you will probably have to meet me
where I am. But generally on most mornings with good surf I am
happy to shoot where ever you want to surf on the coast. We meet
in the car park discuss the best options for shooting. The photography
session usually lasts an hour, you can come in or stay out if
it's good.
We can also include a family portrait shoot at
the same time, great for families on holidays.
Viewing the photos.
After the session you can visit the gallery at a time that suits
you and browse through the images from that day on either of the
two internet bays. We create an image folder for you here. Your
images are kept and stored.
When? Generally first
light to 7am, but I can shoot at any time of the day. If it's
midday and Sunshine is 6 foot and offshore, call me and I will
shoot up from Coolum and document the session.
What does it cost? The
call out fee is $95 between Sunshine Beach & Maroochydore,
$125 for Noosa, Kawana to Caloundra. This only applies if we agree
to go ahead with the shoot after checking the surf. If we meet
and the surf is no good, no fee. This fee can be divided by your
mates or who ever wants photos. After each shoot we have between
300 and 1000 images to sort through. The best way to do this is
using the internet terminals at the Yaroomba gallery. If this
is not possible we can email you some resized samples of the good
images to choose from. You have the option to purchase all the
high resolution prints outright for $495, this can be divided
by as many people in the shoot. If you do not wish to purchase
all the digital files you can select individual images to enlarged
onto canvas or photographic prints. Our standard print and canvas
prices apply to any reprints. CLICK

What kind of surf? The
photos will be as good as the surf so the better the surf the
better the photos. Clean surf, preferably offshore winds and at
least 2 foot of swell.
Planning a surf trip? I have documented overseas boat trips in the past and still offer this service. Imagine coming home from a surf trip with 2000 magazine quality surf images of you and your mates in stand up barrels. It generally works like this. If you are on a trip with a group who all want photos, it will cost the group my airfare, taxes and basic accommodation while on land and my position on the boat, divided by however many are on the boat. If there are 10 people it usually costs around $250 each to have me on board, that includes a multi pack print package at the end of the trip. I can work out a deal with the boat owner and generally get a discounted rate as a photographer for my stay on the boat. I shoot magazine quality digital stills that we view each night on the laptop. After the trip you can purchase photos if you wish. |
