Photographer CODY SPINADEL

Cody has been on the North Shore this past winter and just sent us this gem. I knew Cody thru the Advertising world and I remember when he said “im gonna get a camera and start shooting”. Since then he has captured some amazing images from above and below the sea. Having been trained as an Art Director he truly has an eye for composition.

Moon Series: Shooting does not need to stop once the sun goes down. There are many subjects of interest that can be shot in the dark of night. One of my favorites to shoot is the moon! That was a tricky one to tackle though, because of the lighting challenges. Being self taught, it took some practice with my manual settings to get it right. For each evening, those settings would need to change. A tri-pod is a must in this circumstance as the moon, or anything else in your viewfinder will not be in focus. After discovering that, I just played with the settings until I achieved my desired result. Long exposure can be fun to experiment with, as well. In this series, I have given you shots from various evenings/early mornings.

For the pier shot, I headed to the end of the San Clemente Pier a looked back towards town as the moon was rising out of the east. I used long exposure for this one as it really brought out the lights of the buildings and homes in my town of San Clemente. I love the gorgeous trail of light reflected on the water’s surface.

The 3 photos titled Moon Glow Over Water 1, Moon Glow Over Water 2, and Orange Moonset were all shot on the same recent very early morning, but at different stages of the moon set. I am fortunate to have an amazing view from my home and am up very early for work. I could see the bright glow coming from outside as I stumbled out of bed. Eyes barely opened, I hurried to my deck with my gear to get those shots. Sometimes being the early bird pays off! I have seen and shot some visions of beauty while most people are still dreaming.

On the evening I shot the Solo Moon, this particular full moon seemed so bright and close to earth. It’s amazing to think that man has visited that planet on numerous occasions. I enjoy seeing it in all its various stages. There’s something about a night on the beach under the moon and stars that’s incredibly romantic.

Lastly, my Sunset Crescent Moon shot. It’s just a sliver of a beautiful moon hanging over San Clemente Island on a warm Indian Summer evening. The colors of the sunset accessorizing our amazing planet that is a fixture engrained in our lives as much as the planet we live on.

PHOTOGRAPHER TIAGO COSTA

Last November, I received from my University a reproduction project to create. Basically, I had to choose a portrait photographer and reproduce one of his photos. I want to thank Tatiana Sereno for her amazing painting job and make up, Helena Rosberg for being the wonderful face of this piece of work, Joana Rodrigues for being the test model, and last but not least, my partner João Machado. Before anything, let me introduce you to Alexander Khokhlov. Born in Russia, Alexander has high quality work in areas of Fashion, Beauty or Portrait. His black and white paint faces portrait series are amazing, and I must say his models caught my eyes! My work is not a commercial piece, and nobody will make money off it. All idea credits go to Alexander Khokhlov, and all the best for his carrer.

Photographer Che Parker

It’s early days for me in the photo taking caper, and I’m still a way aways from making a proper living out of any of it. Unfortunately, that means I still have to find way to pay the bills. Lately that’s involved juggling a few different jobs, with most of my time being taken up by what you see above - turf farming. As farming goes, it doesn’t hold quite the allure of cattle grazing or growing the finest of Tempranillo grapes, but it’s novel enough in its own quaintly mundane way. And mundane it sometimes is. When you’re driving a tractor in 4 km/h circles for six hours you need more than a handful of podcasts to keep your sanity. Photography’s a handy habit like that. And not only has it paid the bills, it’s allowed me to take possession of a brand spankin’ new hand-shaped single fin, a bomb-proof new camera and a bag full of film. This would be great at any occasion, but to top it off, as I type this, I’m minutes away from jagging a lift to the airport to board a flight to Indonesia, where I’ll be sauntering my way from Denpasar to Jakarta over the space of a few weeks. Lotso photos to come!

So keen.

Photographer Catherine Gregory

The journey for a beautiful shot doesn’t always involve travel. In this case, Catherine needs look no further than her own backyard. Here is a trio of “beam themed” shots taken from the same location on the deck of Catherine’s home in San Clemente, CA. All three of them involve the suns beams/rays over the Pacific Ocean and were shot from different angles on different days. “I find that cloud cover can bring more interest to a landscape shot particularly over the ocean. My most amazing sunset photos have involved high clouds which create a canvas for rich and vibrant color. In these shots, there were enough openings to let the sun filter through in brilliant rays which gives a very heavenly look to the landscape. My camera is never far from my side, when I see it, I shoot it. There is inspiration for amazing images wherever I go and even right where I am, if I just keep my eyes open”.

New Zealander Photographer Shannon Aston

While residing in Seoul Korea photographer Shannon Aston has been capturing a personal photo-documentary while working on set on the 38th Parallel on the East coast of South Korea which documents the fisherman, ROK (Republic of Korea) military and the newly arrived surfers in the area who are now sharing the coastline in one of the most dangerous places on earth, the DMZ dividing North and South Korea.

One particular place, aptly named ‘38th Parallel Beach’ is fast becoming a hub for Seoul’s young jet-setting surfer class. The East coast of Korea has some of the most consistent and powerful waves in the country and with ever improving forecasting technology and the prevalence of social media, the short lived swells which originate in the East Sea are no longer left unsurfed.

A straight three hour drive from Seoul through the scenic Gangwando province brings you to the barbwired “Sahm-Parl” or “38th Beach” Here you will see trendies, wannabes, gangsters, Hongdae hipsters, Gangnam DJ’s and foreign english teachers all jostling for a wave in all of Korea’s distinct seasons, while the ever-present Korean army patrol the coast by land, sea and air.

As a lifelong surfer, the mixture of this semi-remote location, exotic culture and the three groups all occupying the same small area is incredible to me. I try to spend as much time as I can over there getting my surf fix and capturing the amazing and strange things I see at this South Korean beach.

I hope you enjoy the photos. All are taken at 38th Beach, Gisamun Harbor, Gangwando, South Korea. Shot on a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 70-200mm

Photo 1: 38th Parallel Beach is a beach, harbour, military base and a highway rest-stop. Here, weary Korean travellers can stop for strong, sweet coffee, spicy food and tacky souvenirs. They can also inspect the coastline and enjoy the beauty of the Gangwando coast. 70-200mm Nikkor

Photo 2: A powerful Fall swell unloads on the shifting sands of “Sahm-Parl” beach. As the brutal Korean winter approaches the localised storms gain intensity and send in powerful, short lived swells. Jo-do or Jo Island in the background is illegal for civilians to set foot on. I shot this from my guest room window as I suited up in my 5/3 and gloves for an arvo session. 70-200mm Nikkor

Photo 3: Local surfer Donghoon Han heads out through Army vehicles during the last typhoon season (June-October) which also brings great waves to the area. 70-200mm Nikkor

Photo 4: Young ROK soldiers completing their compulsory two year military service grab a chance to pose with my surfboard during a military exercise and parade day.

Photo 5: A local fisherman barges in on his small, but quick vessel dodging waves and surfers while applying the gas like Korean people are very fond of doing. Fast society! 70-200mm Nikkor

Photo 6: ROK tanks parade down the highway during a military exercise and parade day which celebrated a South Korean military memorial. The Army is always present in this heavily defended area. 70-200mm Nikkor

New York, Photographer Paul de Luna

We then headed downtown into SOHO where we filmed photographer Paul le Luna who was in full force shooting a new fall line for Verlaine. From wardrobe to make up to clothing the set was buzzing as Paul spent time perfecting the lighting and calculating his craft from behind the lens. We captured the realities of what it takes to be the best as well as some fine words spoken by Paul. we should have his profile done soon so stay tuned.
