Green Monster. This wave looks smaller than it really was. The sun just came up so I was lucky to capture this before it was too bright out. I used a flashed and slow shutter to get the image. Image: Croman

There are so many great surf photographers in Hawaii that the competition is very high. I try to separate myself from the rest by using the slow shutter speed technique that you see here. I want people to see a beautiful wave in motion or a surfer on a wave and interpret their movement with your mind rather than your eyes. Further, I want people to associate these photos with my style. As tough as nailing a good slow shutter speed image is, in my opinion, I would rather risk not getting a shot than miss out on a good one done correctly.
