'My Best Mate' one of those perfect summer days, uncrowded fun waves and just me and my best mate out there. I always try to capture these images, but they are not easy. Photo:Alex Marks.

'Ellis Ericson' this image was one of my favourites from a trip I shot for RVCA back in 2010. Just super fun waves and a rad crew too. Photo:Alex Marks.

'Unknown, Hawaii, 2012.' This was my third trip to the North Shore, but only the first time I had swam out with my camera. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life to date. The light and just about everything else over there is incredible. Photo:Alex Marks.

Isaac Buckley - no turning back. A good mate of mine and the true definition of the word charger. When this place is on, Isaac is there. Photo:Alex Marks.

'Tim Taplin' this was the stormiest day, just constant battering from above. I was standing under a surf clubhouse to shield my gear from the rain for this shot. I shoot with Tim a lot and this is why. Photo:Alex Marks.
-
'Froth Monster' captured during a King High tide at my local beach Mona Vale. I waited so long for the wave to hit this one section, but it was worth it. Photo:Alex Marks.

I live with my beautiful fiance (soon to be wife) on the incredible Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. I love where I live, I feel very lucky to live here. I have always loved the ocean and the area around it, so began my quest to document it through photography. It was about six years ago that I seriously began shooting images of the surf as my primary subject matter. In my quest for waves, people and perfect light I have been lucky enough to have photographed my way through Hawaii, Canada, France, Spain, Italy, Fiji, Indonesia, the United States and most parts of Australia. Every time I pick up my camera I learn something new and hopefully this continues for a very long time.
I spend my time at home shooting heaps of weddings and running www.bluesnapper.com.au documenting and showcasing the surf on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia.
