WINTER WINNING

POSTED ON 2 JUNE 2014 BY CLAIRE BUTLER

The only thing that gets me out of bed before sunrise on a super stormy Winters day is a swell chart promising an epic surf adventure. While the rest of South Africa was off in Namibia chasing the swell to Skeleton Bay (FOMO), we decided to look for something slightly more local. We weren't disappointed.
Surfers: Phil Nel, Nick Engelbrecht, Tommy Kruger, Neil Havenga and Brad Coetzer.

J-BAY BACK ON THE ASP WORLD TOUR

POSTED ON 24 FEBRUARY 2014 BY CLAIRE BUTLER

Today brought such exciting news for the South African surfing community: following a 2-year 'hiatus', Jeffreys Bay has been re-added to the list of stops for the forthcoming ASP Surfing World Tour. I couldn't be more stoked to hear that I'll once again have the chance to shoot the world's best surfers on one of my favourite waves, Supertubes. To celebrate, I took a look into my archives and chose 10 of my favourite shots from J-Bay events gone by, and included a reason why it's arguably my favourite event to shoot. See you all in Jeffreys Bay from 10-20 July for the J-Bay Open! Yew!

WANDERLUST

POSTED ON 23 FEBRUARY 2014 BY CLAIRE BUTLER

At one point during my travels through Indonesia last year, my SLR camera died on me. At least I had my GoPro, until that overheated and died on me too. I was left with my iPhone 4s to capture and record the rest of my journey; although I was miserable without my SLR, I accepted the challenge of becoming an iphoneographer for the rest of my stay. I decided to devote one blog post entirely to some iPhone photos from my time in Indo. It's actually quite amazing to see how far mobile technology has come. Would you have guessed all of these were shot with a cellphone?
