This drives me to share the surfing lifestyle via photography. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of work were you shooting in south africa?<\/strong> <br \/>I was shooting a lot of bands, live and group shots, then more skateboarding and eventually into my first love: surf photography.     <\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve made a move to indonesia.. how did that decision come about? <\/strong><br \/>I felt being based in Indonesia would be the most efficient location for surf photography because it&#8217;s an absolute surf mecca and most of the worlds top competing pro&#8217;s and free surfers visit Indonesia each year. I also Love warm weather and warm ocean water.        <\/p>\n<p><strong>Who or what inspires you in your personal and photographic life? <\/strong><br \/>My personal life inspirations come from so many avenues. I&#8217;ve read a lot of literature on consciousness and spirituality. This strongly influences my values and way of Being. I believe in Unity and I Trust in The Universe and the Magical Flow that is always present when I&#8217;m being present and doing what I Love to do.  <\/p>\n<p>The photographic inspirations also span many talented artists and peers. A few names: Chase Jarvis, Jason Childs, Ansel Adams, Ray Collins, Mick Curley&#8230;..the list goes on \ud83d\ude42 I&#8217;m also inspired by interesting light, painting, films etc&#8230;        <\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you do if you could&#8217;nt be a photographer? <\/strong><br \/>A professional, nomadic free surfer.<br \/><i>visit Gerhard&#8217;s site here.. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gerhardimages.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.gerhardimages.com<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-301\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seelife.se\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/g1.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-302\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seelife.se\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/g2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"240\" height=\"159\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-303\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seelife.se\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/g3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life is all about taking chances, chances in careers, chances with sports, chances with love.. if you don&#8217;t take chances you&#8217;ll never know.
