I have the opportunity to photograph this wonderful family at Land’s End in Emerald Isle, NC. We had a great time and even managed to squeeze in a few senior portraits of their son in the session. If you would like to book an Emerald Isle Beach Portrait session please contact me today 919-690-6968 or shoot me an e-mail graham@surferphotos.com
Here is an image I took at sunrise about 4 days ago. You can see the morning glow in the background from the sunrise. The foreground is illuminated by a flash attached to my camera in my water housing. I love waking up early and taking photos like this!
I love all aspects of photography honestly. I love doing portraits, weddings, surfing, landscapes & empty wave photos. I feel like doing all of these helps me in each category. My passion though is shooting waves. It’s crazy how each wave is different. For example, this wave photographed here on this particular morning looks nothing like all the others I took the same morning. From the colors to the shape they’re all different. That’s why I love them so much. It never gets boring no matter how many waves you shoot. One thing people don’t realize is I’m taking these photos early morning before the sun comes up and at later in the evening when it goes down. There’s always the potential of running into a shark. It’s just part of the territory. Some mornings when I’m super sketched out I have to talk myself through it. You woke up to get the shot now go get it! That’s what I have to remind myself. But I wouldn’t change it for the world because passion overcomes fear any day.
Here is a photo I captured the other night. People don’t realize how difficult it is to get a shot like this. You have to brave 40 degree water, lug around a heavy water housing with a flash attachment on top & be able to position yourself in the right place of the wave to get the shot. It’s really not that easy at all. I love it thought & it’s one of my favorite things to do. No matter how many waves you photograph no two are the same.
Here is a photo I grabbed yesterday at the Bogue Inlet Pier here in Emerald Isle, NC. I had a super cold session swimming around. The air was pretty warm but the water is still freezing. I love how you have the pier framed by the wave. Click here to preview more of my work http://www.grahamhuntphotography.com
This year I decided to create a calendar with some of my favorite photographs. It includes the Shackleford Ponies, Bogue Inlet Pier, baby seat turtles & wave art. It really is one of my favorite projects so far. It also includes photos that I haven’t printed yet. The calendars are only $20 and for each calendar I sell, I’m going to donate $1 to The American Cancer society in honor of my Aunt Susan Hunt Bailey. You can purchase the calendars by clicking on the link below. Thanks for your support!
