Sunkissed

1/1 NFT Signed physical print included Surfing has been part of my life since I can remember. I grew up by the ocean and my fondest memories come from my time by the sea. The beach near my house runs for 16km so there is ample opportunity to sit on a wave in solitude and take in mother nature's force amongst the calm. When I first picked up a camera I knew one day I would end up in the water with it, and although it takes a totally different set of skills to photograph through an underwater housing, it's something that pushes me to be more creative and I love it! The long exposure technique I use creates a painterly effect to the scene, all created on camera. On this particular morning I joined two friends, took photos, watched them surf, and then put my camera away and surfed until I could surf no more. Sometimes I pinch myself that I get to live this life. Rachel Stewart, Landscape Photographer
