Surf photographers are the unsung heroes of surfing – they fiercely move towards a force of nature that engulfs, mangles and tries its best to break their bodies in two. All the while trying to capture a beautiful blink of a moment. Mickey Smith breaks down his profession with the prose of a beat poet. Good news: Mickey has agreed to an interview..
“The dark side of the lens. An art form unto itself. Silent workhorses of the surfing world…if I only scrape a living, at least it’s a living worth scraping.”
