Fashion should be fun and with my photography I love to create those fun moments.

Surfing

Surfing with Indy at North Avalon beach

Finally, Indy and I get out amongst some waves. This post is a part of my collaboration with Rip Curl.

Loving the look on Indy's face, the focus, love that, she wants that wave. "Paddle harder" I shout from the water.LIM_1270sonnyphotosAaaah, I missed this one, I was too close in. LIM_1273sonnyphotosIndy just turned off this one as it fattened out... LIM_1296sonnyphotos2Paddle , Paddle , Paddle!  LIM_1297sonnyphotosToo far out on the shoulder, won't get it. LIM_1300sonnyphotosIndy's is having a bit of a tough time out here. For one, she is not familiar with this spot and second, right now the tide is shifting and there is a strong rip going through the take off spot. I'm trying to stay in position with the water camera, without a board, basically just swimming, put the rip is pulling me around as well. So when Indy does get a good wave for me to shoot, I was either too far or too close. (In other words, I should leave the professional water photography to the professional water photographers, hey Nathan Smith?) Still, we have fun. LIM_1310sonnyphotosIt is a very clear clean day today. LIM_1317sonnyphotosJust a lot of water moving around. LIM_1334sonnyphotos LIM_1369sonnyphotosAfter a lot of paddling and duckdiving, we are back in the car park, assessing what went wrong and checking the line upLIM_1362sonnyphotosAnd, if you are surf wise, you can see the rip. That's what went wrong, but we had fun anyway! Out in the surf Indy was wearing Rip Curl Mirage Shimmer Revo Bikini and Rip Curl Mirage 2" Elastic board shorts.
