Cardiff, California.This day was supposed to be the day where I shot my friend, Ben Goldstein, surfing with a pumpkin on his head, but it turns out I really enjoyed the portrait shots I took and just stuck with those. Photo: Cole Ferguson

I’m a 16-year-old surf and adventure photographer from Southern California. Living a close 2-minute walk from the beach, surf photography came natural to me. It all started out 4 years ago while I was taking photos with the family camera. From there on out the passion grew. I shoot water, landscapes, and portraits with Canon cameras and SPL waterhousings. I have a crazy passion for photo and video and I try to show it through my work. Here is a small selection of some of my favorite photos taken up and down the California Coast.
