Surf & Kitesurf Photography

Boardsports have always been a lifelong hobby for me. Surfing & Kitesurfing have been integrated into my daily life and career. I love sharing the stoke with new surfers, kiters and watersports enthusiasts. After working with various surf schools, camps and professional surfers and kitesurfers, I now offer photo sessions for the public as well. As a marketing agency owner, my skills go beyond technical and artistic that are high valued for any business looking for professional marketing images. For surfers & kitesurfers, I love to share the experience and capturing their best abilities. While it can be challenging to grab that shot of a rare moment, I love the challenge and the happiness it brings to my clients.

From snowboarding to kiteboarding

Snowboarding has been a sport I have enjoyed since I was 13 years old. Starting with skiing with my dad around 11 or 12, then moving into board sports because they ‘looked cooler’ but now I simply enjoy board sports, from snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding to now surfing and kitesurfing. Life by the beach is better to me so I made it my mission in life to pursue it full time.

As a Canadian, I grew up in harsh winters but hot summers in the Great Lakes. But after living across Canada, in the East Coast and West Coast working in hotels and ski resorts, the dark winters became too hard and after taking a gap year traveling, Morocco became my second home full of sunshine, surfing and kitesurfing. Thus, becoming part of my daily life and work.

Why Choose Me?

Not only do I surf but I also managed many surf schools and worked with various surf schools, retreats, brands for their professional and custom images that stand out among stock photography or phone cameras.

01

Surfer

As a surfer, I understand the best moment to snap that shot. I know good waves versus closeouts. What surfers want to see. I know when a surfer or kitesurfer is preparing for a manevour like jumping, carving or otherwise.

02

Experience

My experience in the surf industry helps me understand what customers buy and how to build trust with the audience through photography. For surfers & kitesurfers, I worked with beginners to some of the best.

03

Marketing

Beyond an image, I know the psychology, the SEO, and the framework to using photography for commercial use and increase sales. Not to mention, the techincial requirements, software, retouching and other production issues.
