Very happy to be featured on magic seaweed!
Shooting in a UK winter can be a fickle pursuit. Sure, it's cold, the light's best at the extremities of the day and sometimes, you're going to get skunked. But that doesn't mean there are moments of clarity out amongst the drink, little hidden moments waiting for a lens to be trained on them – oh and the surf community is thriving, of course.
Clare James has been shooting around Newquay, Cornwall and further abroad for quite some time now. The draw to the ocean, whether that's surfing or shooting, is all the inspiration she needs to face the frigid waters of the Atlantic. (Though, we will say, water feels warmer this year, no?)
You'll often find Clare shooting the likes of Fistral, Watergate, Perranporth and etc, or helping shoot live video for the UK Pro Tour – so we thought we'd ask her for top tips about surf photography in Cornwall and a bit about where her ocean obsession began.
