In the past, I’ve used reliable housings by SPL and Aquatech. There is a lot of modern technology coming out with lighter housing bodies made from carbon fibre and other materials. I’m currently testing a variety of different housings for in-water manoeuvrability and functional use. It should be a part of every water photographer’s kit. It can do everything from shooting an intense action shot all the way to a delicate water portrait. Although it isn’t the most expensive lens out there it is one of the most superior lens for shooting surfing in water. My other little secret lens that I love for shooting in water is the Canon 50mm f/1.4. This little baby lens is small and light and lightning fast. I can also just put on an extender to get more length if people are surfing further out to sea without any visible loss in quality. The focal range allows me to frame a wide variety of images exactly to my own vision. It is small enough to travel around the world with, but has the most premium glass, so it still captures the highest quality images possible. What lenses do you prefer for surf photography and why? The only problem is if I miss the shot, I know it’s my own fault! I guess that is what it all comes down to. I have a lot of trust in the 1D X Mark II because I know that despite facing all the elements, it is going to capture what I want without fail.

Salty air, ocean spray and sand are just a regular part of my day. It is also such a sturdy, weatherproof camera body. This camera has such a fast frame rate that I always capture every bit of the action. Surfing is such a fast-paced sport with lots of different manoeuvres being performed and there is a lot of emphasis on body and board positioning. What camera do you usually shoot with and why? Custom white balance before heading out.Higher shutter speeds around 1/1000 for capturing the action.Waves crashing around you, people surfing towards you-amongst all that you need to take a photo!Ī good starting setup is similar to land with: In the water, it isn't as easy to change settings due to the limitations of having an enclosed housing around your camera and being in such an extreme changing environment.
