I have a long way to go, but with the help of a bunch of stellar local photographers, I’ve started off in what I hope is the right direction. Either way, I am enjoying shooting almost as much as surfing these days.

Day in and day out, no one surfs the 1st Jetty at Cape Hatteras Lighthouse better than Buxton native Brett Barley. He's usually pulling into a massive barrel, but he can break the fins free and take to the air just as easily.

A portrait of the artist: Ben Gallop.

I am an amateur surf photographer who lives, works, surfs and shoots on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After working for a couple of years following college, I left a great job and went to law school so that I could live on the coast and surf. Between surf sessions, I try to shoot my friends and the local pro contingent as well as a few lineup shots to remember the day’s surf. I’ve always had an interest in photography, particularly surf photography, but didn’t have the necessary equipment until a little over a year ago. I have a long way to go, but with the help of a bunch of stellar local photographers, I’ve started off in what I hope is the right direction. Either way, I am enjoying shooting almost as much as surfing these days.
