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?

[PUBLISHED WORK] SURFLINE GALLERY: G-LAND

POSTED ON 3 FEBRUARY 2013 BY CLAIRE BUTLER

Last year, while traveling around Indonesia, I spent a week at a surf camp on the edge of a remote Indonesian jungle. My trip happened to coincide with perfect tides and one mother of a swell. The experience was arguably my most memorable surf trip ever. Check out my latest work on Surfline to see a full gallery of my time there. Click through on the image below to be taken there.

2013 BILLABONG PIPE MASTERS: THE FINAL DAY

POSTED ON 15 DECEMBER 2013 BY CLAIRE BUTLER

Attending the Billabong Pipe Masters has always been a bucket list item for me. This year, I have been lucky enough to make that dream a reality. I flew over 30 hours to attend the final event of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and yesterday I joined 1000's of other photographers and spectators on the shoreline of Banzai Pipeline to watch some of the greatest contest surfing that 2013 has had to offer. Being there for the final day was an unbelievable experience and truly a highlight of my career as a surf photographer. Blessed with maxing waves, beautiful weather and phenomenal surfing, it's a day I don't think anybody could forget. View my photo story below. Enjoy!
