A quick look behind the scenes of ace fashion photog Kirstin Prisk shooting the beautiful Nina for the coming issue of SurfGirl #26 Out in April.

Everyone would love to combine their passion and their job, and the image of the job of surf photographer is totally glamorous and alluring: getting paid to travel to exotic locations and shoot stunning images. But how do you get started?

SurfGirl has just come back from the most amazing adventure in the Grand Massif Resort in the French Alps. We stayed with Willy G (chalet-loreade.com) who has the enviable life of spending his summers in Newquay and winters in the Alps! (by Jane Chambers, photos Simon Dobson.)

In surf photogrpahy a great lineup shot has the ability to inspire and convey emotion in a way that many action shots never can. Also, there are dozens of surf photographers these days either in the water or on land when the surf’s good, so if you don’t have a big lens or water housing you’ve got a much better chance of getting a lineup shot published.

Inspired by Play of Light, that also has a blogg here on SurfGirls webpage, I decided to put together some pictures ive taken down at Fistral beach. Had a little play around and this is the final result.
