“The ocean is our fountain of youth. A constantly changing masterpiece for everyone to enjoy. Respect it.”

This final frame shot of Boyd Petersen driving through an emerald gem near his home is one of my favorite surf images I have shot from the water. I can't wait to score this place again. Photo: Josh Gill

Editor’s Note: #My5Lineups is a new series highlighting 5 of a featured photographer’s favorite lineup shots. The seventh in the series is Josh Gill.

I have always been the one to better express myself. Not through speaking, but more through some sort of artistic expression. The best thing about art is that no one can tell you whether it’s right or wrong. They can only decide if they like it or not. Whether it’s drawing, painting, dance, music, film, or photography, it’s all about how your own creativity helps you be heard.

My passion for photography has grown to be quite strong over the past couple of years. And there’s no better feeling than being in the ocean with a set of fins and a camera in hand, swimming through the waves and capturing what I believe is Earth’s purest form of nature. I try to be humble and move the spotlight away. And so, for now, behind the lens is where I’ll stay.
