imagine getting assigned a job to take photos of some boys you knew when they were just kids. and imagine the assignment for a huge japanese teen fashion magazine. FINE magazine has been around for years and if you even get a small photo published in there, you’re pretty much instantly famous. millions of teenage girls and boys read that magazine cover to cover. the weather hasn’t been cooperating with our schedules so even thought it was storming this morning, we went. and lucky to live in hawaii, the sun came out for 1 minute, rain for 15, then sun for 1 minute, and rain for 15. it was frustrating but when you have good talent, it’s pretty easy. these kids rip, and these kids are going to crush some poor girls hearts. haha.
natural style and natural light. i love photos like these because it just captures the moment. derek wong getting ready for a super session!
i wish i can post the photos i took today but i will get into trouble. i got some really awesome photos of the boys and you’ll see it in the upcoming Fine magazine. stay tuned.
rain or shine, people surf here in hawaii. and rain or shine, people work here in hawaii. i did both.
i knew these boys before they could even do a cutback. awesome to see them turn into some of hawaii’s top rippers!
thanks boys for showing up. good job on the smiles, and good job on the surfing! see you in the mag!
