Your current level of ability is no issue when it comes to capturing photographs of you surfing. If your a beginner who is learning to surf, we’ll capture those first times you get up on the board for you to treasure forever. If your are an intermediate surfer who is improving all the time, we’ll capture the best shots we can of you within your limits and if your a pro, well then we’re going to have a lot of fun seeing what you can do!
Yes for sure! If you are a surf instructor looking for somebody to attend your classes to photograph them, just book in a time and date using the online booking system and Paul will be there ready to go.
If you are taking part in a surf lesson, please check with the instructor that they are happy for Paul to attend prior to booking. If they are happy, it’s not a problem at all and he will be happy to attend.
A typical surf photography session will last up to 90 minutes. This gives us enough time to ensure we capture some great shots of you in action without having to rush.
You can choose a longer session time during the booking process should you wish.
Yes you are paying for Paul’s time so he is happy to photograph as many people in your group as you’d like him too during the session.
IMPORTANT: If your group is large, you obviously won’t get as many photographs of everybody involved with the 90 minute session and we cannot guarantee you will get epic shots of everyone involved in the time either. Paul will always do his best, but 1-2-1 or smaller groups are always more sensible and deliver best results.
You’ll typically receive 20+ images from the session, though often more. If we have banger’s on the camera, we won’t keep them from you, we want you sharing them with the world and telling everybody who took them!
We need 7 day’s notice for any changes to your booking. If your session falls within the next 7 days then we won’t be able to change it unfortunately. Your session will carry on regardless of the weather or surf conditions.
