Any final thoughts on windsurfing or
photography in general?
I truly believe that the medium of static image is still more
powerful than video. Photos capture the second memory
and is with you for life whereas video normally gets watched
then is forgotten about. You can’t hang videos on the wall
either. My most memorable image is my father capturing
me at the 2012 Olympics with a Canon 1DX and a 600
prime lens which is an absolute beast. I had more people
photographing me and my set up and than the actually
runners going past!
Thanks and praise?
I have been very fortunate with the support received during the
early part of my career. In particular Tony Bishop of Queen
Mary SC stands out. My first experience was back in 2012
when we covered the Bloody Mary regatta, not as a
commission but purely for fun. QMSC then printed my images
which are proudly hung on the club house walls. Since then
we have covered every Bloody Mary and plan to continue. This
relationship then led to introductions to Royal Thames yacht
club and then on to Cowes Etchells fleets. We also work with
the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation as a direct result of
Tony initiating the first Bart’s Bash. So thank you Tony.
