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.

'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.
