I met Jackson Bridwell on the beach this day and he was stoked I was about to go for a swim with my camera. He worked to line up with me and wanted to get a good shot of himself. We got a few good one, but I like this one best because you just get a glimpse of him as the wave hit the inside sandbar and really throws out. Photo: Mark Wilson
A portrait of the artist: Mark Wilson.
I am a photographic artist and lifelong surfer, and I’m finally grabbing my camera more than I’m grabbing my board these days.
Most of my shots here were taken in Florida over the last year or so, due to the fact that I haven’t traveled much lately trying to acquire more camera equipment. I’m looking to getting out of town soon and see what I can create. I’ve always been a huge fan of surf art due to the escape from reality it provides, and that has been my driving force for missing out on surfing swells to shoot them, to express my vision as I see it. Now I am attempting to create imagery that is more than just a picture, but an image that gives the viewer a sense of time and place, and hopefully…escape from reality. Thanks for checking out my work.
