It's not often that I share videos on my blog but I came across this one this morning. It's called "One Shot" - a short documentary on world renowned surf photographer, Russel Ord. I have the utmost respect for water surf photographers who put themselves in the most insane situations to capture the perfect moment. These guys are the real talent in surf photography. Here's an excerpt on the film from the official website:
"'One Shot' is a short documentary that looks into the life of Russell
Ord, a West Australian, world renowned surf Photographer as he embarks
on a mission to capture 'one shot' that defines who he is, not just what
he does. A husband and father of 3, Russell has for years shot
professional surfers and ocean scapes, only to wake up one day and look
back on his images with total emptiness and dissatisfaction"
