Perfect Barrells

Wave Selection

Once a jet-setting shoe salesman working in the city, Greg Martin opted for a complete lifestyle change several years ago, and moved to Cornwall to follow his dream of becoming a professional surf photographer.

Greg Martin - a surf photographer living in Penzance, Cornwall - will be launching a major year long exhibition of his work, 'Wave Selection', on the 1st March.

After some doubtful times of working several jobs to support his new found ambition, Greg has just got through his first year surviving solely on his surf photography... just!

In that year he has been lucky enough to work closely with some of the UK's top surfing magazines, which have taken him on trips from the Outer Hebrides to Morocco.

As a result, Greg has built up a vast collection of photos not only from his trips abroad, but also from the stunning beaches of Cornwall, where the surf can be just as good as anywhere else!

As well as climbing around on cliffs to find the perfect angle to shoot from, Greg also gets up close to the action by swimming out into the surf with his camera in a waterproof housing.

Part one of the 'Wave Selection' project will run for a couple of months before the photos are replaced with a new selection which will include images taken within those two months. This process will then be repeated throughout 2007.

The exhibition will be showing at Archie Brown's, Bread Street, Penzance.

25% of all sales will be going to Surfers Against Sewage.
