Often making original/different photographs is less about technique, but all about putting yourself and your camera in a place where few, if any others have been before. For years I visualized and desired a image of Cape fur seals surfing the waves that crash into Africa’s southern tip and I wanted to show this behavior from the underwater perspective. In 2014 after many failed attempts, me and my then assistant, dive buddy and all around seal guru @animal_ocean found the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow... One day the ocean turned clear and the swell was large and beefy enough for the seals to surf, but not soo big that every wave would pound me into the rocky reef (only every fourth or fifth wave did that...). The trick to making these images was to literally surf the waves underwater with the seals (see pic 2 of me trying...). I would alternate this approach with clinging to the kelp while the seals raced by overhead and eventually photographs started coming together. To make great images you sometimes have to take calculated risks, but remember that you can’t make photographs when you are dead!
