Joining us as our first Photo Host in 2016 is self-published author of the ‘Living Water’ book and professional ocean and adventure photographer based in South Coast of NSW, Australia –Philip Thurston.
Phil grew up in the heavy Australian reef breaks on the South Coast of NSW. Together with his two older brothers he pursued professional bodyboarding– which in his late teens developed into a growing passion for surf photography to document and support his older brother’s career in professional wave riding. Their commitment and dedication to shooting the powerful large swells that would hit seasonally not only developed a passion in Thurston for the raw energy of the ocean swells but conditioned him with the confidence to capture up close and beautiful imagery of the breaking wave.
Phil now travels the world capturing ocean and adventure related images that drive the growing momentum and inspiration of Thurston Photo.Photographs © Philip Thurston
