Brad Ettinger is a worker. He will try anything to get the shot. we had to endure a rash of local hostility to get this image. Art Brewer even called me up to question my motives. Much respect... Photo: Sardelis.com/HBSurfShot.Blogspot.com
Huntington Beach based photographer, Chris Sardelis.
Chris was born in Long Beach, California, and grew up surfing the warm waters of Ray Bay. Seal Beach’s Rich Harbour was an important mentor and encouraged Sardelis to pursue photography more seriously. As a neophyte shooter, Sardelis borrowed equipment freely from such stellar associates as Arthur Jennings Brewer, Flame, and Hoover. He was even mentored by the legendary Warren Bolster. Artist Enzia Farrell provided further aesthetic tutelage. Soon he was a working surf shooter with a firm grasp of the technical aspects and sophisticated composition.
