South of the Border Swell: Puerto Escondido Goes Off

I’ve always had an appreciation for water photography, but it wasn’t until a few months ago that I decided to invest in it. Here are a series of images I shot over four days during the recent swell at Puerto Escondido, Mexico.

I’ve always had an appreciation for water photography, but it wasn’t until a few months ago that I decided to invest in it. Now I spend half my time in the water surfing and the other half shooting photos. It’s a great balance.

Here are a series of images I shot over four days during the recent swell at Puerto Escondido, Mexico. This trip is the first time I’ve shot surfers in the water.
