It takes a courageous person to make it in the world of surfing photography. First you have to accept that equipment will be expensive and the returns will be small, at least until you are established. Then there are the physical obstacles, swimming over sharp reefs which could be home to sharks, and putting yourself close to surfers riding huge waves. And of course there are the rip-currents that can sweep you out to sea. This is all in a days work for Lucia griggi, Mickey Smith, Paudie Scanlon and Will Bailey. The picture to left was taken by Mickey Smith who is probably the most successful irish surf photographer. He works for magazines such as "Carve" and "Wave Length". He is very very talented. Lucia Griggi is another very talented photographer who has made it in the male dominated profession. She is a freelance photographer from Cornwall with her work featuring in publications such as "Carve", "Surfgirl", "Wavelength" and also does work for Ripcurl.
