The Power of Surf (5 photos) Crystal Thornburg surfing in Central California. © Chris Burkard Surf trips come up rapidly, as quick as the swells that show up on surf maps, and the photographers and editors who cover them very seldom have a lot of time to plan their work. Grant Ellis has been the photo editor for Surfer Magazine for almost seven years. He started as a surf photographer and followed professional surfers around the world for three years, having surfed from the age of 8.
Surfer works with a large number of photographers and surfers to find and produce the stunning images in the magazine. Ellis says that he can track the swell as it moves across the Pacific or Indian oceans through the emails from his photographers around the world. Because surf images reflect the many nuances of light and water, editors at Surfer do rounds and rounds of color proofing to make certain each image is just right. Pictured here is a selection from Surfer’s Big issue.
