Dane Reynolds at his home in Ventura. I didn’t even know he was out surfing this day. I was shooting the South side of the Pier and this moment happened. It was just dumb luck. 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.
