A little photographers story and small selection of my work as a surf school photographer for Black Dog Surf School.
Black Dog Surf School is a family run business in Byron Bay. For a few months I had the opportunity to take the photos from their surf lessons. I'm sending much love to the whole team. It was a wonderful and unforgettable time.

Surfing looks so fancy, we want to try it today!

The instructors told us so many things,
we didn't hear that much between all those angel wings.

In case no one has ever told you before:
If you like paddling and waiting, you're the one surfing is for.

60% paddling – 30% waiting – 10% surfing
This looks so much easier from the beach,
but with a little training becoming a surfer is a goal you can reach.
READY – SET – POP UP !
While posing is an important skill,
looking good while falling is the next level thrill.

The most important thing is having fun
and enjoying the beautiful day in the Byron Bay sun.
Tired and hungry the lesson ends,
we return to the surf school with our new friends.
The end (for today).
