The serene beauty of surf photography in angry Atlantic waters by Mickey Smith.
This guy makes my photographic efforts look positively pedestrian!
Self-directed with his own music and words, Mickey Smith paints a perfect autobiographical picture of his life behind the lens, shooting surfing. From the raw, ferociousness of the West Coast of Ireland, his work is a far cry away from the typical paradisiacal blue of surf photography from warmer climbes.
The film was shot as part of the Short Stories 2010 competition sponsored by Relentless Energy Drink.
Committed, brave (perhaps a little insane), work like this whets my appetite for our Oceans. You can see my love affair with the aquatic in Surfer & Underwater Love.
