One of the nearer restaurants in Strandhill, but already a crowd favourite is @stoked_strandhill .With owner Shane being a true local, a true surfer (on any board!), I’m delighted he’s supporting Strandhill Surf Folk, and of course part of it also! This shot is how Shane got his start in Strandhill with food, operating out of the back of his van at the very first outdoor @strandhillpeoplesmarket with @almulrooney giving people a chance to get their own businesses in front of people. Fast forward to now & Stoked is well established above the Strand Bar & overlooks not only the village, but the north end of the beach with it’s amazing outdoor dining space! I’ve known Shane & his family for a long time, going back to the 80’s when we were part of the Sligo Swim Club in it’s early days based in the old pool in Summerhill College, along with the likes of @surferdavido & others. #StrandhillFolk #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #stokedstrandhill #stoked #strandhillpeoplesmarket #surfcommunity

Although @thewetsuitcompanystrandhill , is pretty new to the village, having taken up residence at the front of the newly opened National Surf Centre last year, Paul who runs it is a former client of mine! I shot his wedding a number of years ago, and he’s from the village. I’m delighted to have the support of The Wetsuit Company Strandhill for Strandhill Surf Folk. It’s parent company you’ll all probably know, @callofthewild_ireland where Eoghan and his team have created one of the best outdoor stores in Ireland. My earliest memories of Call of the Wild is from their first store near Hyde Bridge, across from the old Ulster Bank! I had just got a junior photographer job with Sutton Images and was preparing to move to the UK. I knew I’d be photographing outside in all sorts of weather so I needed a good rain jacket! I remember getting a blue Berghaus jacket which lasted a couple of years, and then I replaced it with a black version, which you can see in this image..it made it’s way around the world covering F1 & typical when I really needed it at random wet races, I didn’t have it with me!! But I always had it at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium!!! #StrandhillFolk #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #sligosurfshop #thewetsuitcompanystrandhill #callofthewild #surfcommunity

When I was photographing F1 & returned home for a visit in 2003, I headed to Strandhill for a function. There was a little cafe on the seafront, & my now wife, at the time said that was the most amazing location for a cafe & why is it empty? I have no idea who ran it at the time. Fast forward to now and Jane & Myles who own & run @shellscafe had the same epiphany & took up residence in that building and now run the laid back, awesome Shells Cafe! I’ve collaborated with them for both their beautiful books and now I’m delighted to have the support of them for Strandhill Surf Folk and of course I photographed both of them for it also as they’re regulars in the water here! #StrandhillFolk #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #sligocafe #shellslittleshop #shellscafe #surfcommunity

Another business from the same family in Strandhill, the Byrnes, I definitely remember from the 80’s, as it’s somewhere I’d always have to get an ice-cream when out visiting the beach! Mammy Johnstons! @mammy_johnstons Situated across the road from the Strand, again, the building has just always been there, although some may remember it called Neptune Stores! Bingo & John have some absolutely great stories of the surf culture in & around Strandhill & I’m delighted to have their support for Strandhill Surf Folk. #StrandhillFolk #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #strandhillicecream #mammyjohnstonsicecream #mammyjohnstons #surfcommunity Neptune Stores 📷 Val Robus

Another of the Strandhill businesses that have blended in perfectly & become part of the fabric of the village is @voyabeauty @voyaseaweedbaths run by local brothers, who both are part of Strandhill Surf Folk along with supporting the exhibition! I think my earliest memories of the Walton’s is watching Mick (RIP) and Neil in the early 90’s taking part in Rosses Point’s triathlons. Going to those triathlons every summer was the catalyst for me taking part in triathlons from 2008 on. I got to know Mick & Neil then a little better when the reformed Sligo triathlon club only had 10 members! I’ve got to know Mark better now as he’s a regular surfer (along with Neil) and is paving the way for prone paddling in Ireland! #StrandhillFolk #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #voyaorganics #voyaseaweedbaths #voya #surfcommunity

This forthcoming exhibition Strandhill Surf Folk was never about making a profit, the nature of the subject makes it hard to sell on unlike say landscapes. But I wanted to give something back and because of that, I will be selling the actual exhibition prints for a nominal €20 each with 100% of proceeds going to @sligobayrnli - as surfers we’re always in the water & if something unfortunate should happen, these volunteers are always there for us. You can reserve your print at the opening on May 29th or any day the exhibition is open until June 28th! Thanks again to the sponsors of the exhibition. @strandbar_strandhill @voyabeauty @voyaseaweedbaths @mammy_johnstons @shellscafe @thewetsuitcompanystrandhill @stoked_strandhill #StrandhillFolk #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #surfcommunity #rnli #rnliireland #rnlisligo #rnli200

With the Strandhill Surf Folk exhibition opening fast approaching, I’m delighted to have the support of some great local businesses, some of whom simply go hand in hand with Strandhill itself! @strandbar_strandhill - simply one of the best pubs in Ireland! Great food, drinks, a stunning new space also for social/work functions! My earliest memories of the Strand go back to the 80’s & it has to be the little pool they had out front, with little boats for kids! I don’t know why I remember that, but I do!! I think it was around the time of the colour picture here.

Strandhill local & VOYA seaweed guru Neil sums up surfing in Strandhill - “The surf community in Strandhill has a beautiful mix of abilities & lovely personalities, which makes surfing here in Strandhill so nice!”. I absolutely agree! It’s where I learned to surf, and now living here myself, even though I’ve surfed up & down the coast, I pretty much only surf here now! You see this with other surf communities around the world, and it’s part of what I love about Strandhill - it mirrors other surf towns around the globe, with locals that surf other waves but also with guys like me, that surf nowhere else but right at home! I’m delighted to have @markstrandhill & @neilwalton9872 from VOYA on board as not only supporters of Strandhill Surf Folk exhibition, but also as guys I’ve photographed as part of the project. Mark was actually the first portrait taken back in March 2023! #StrandhillFolk coming May 29th!

I think anyone who surfs will absolutely agree with Gemma when she says: “I absolutely love surfing and being in the water. There is nothing better to wash off a long day than jumping in the sea with the Strandhill folk and catching a few waves. I can’t imagine my life without it”.

Another Strandhill Surf Folk portrait revisited. You don’t become a national surf champion like Shane from @stoked_strandhill here, by not being in the water every chance you can! “Along with the line up through the years, the sand banks are always changing , I remember missing my business studies leaving cert exam because there was a perfect shorebreak on the beach. I probably should’ve tired harder in that subject seeing I’m in business now, but that shorey was good as it gets”. If you ever listen to the local surfers here, one thing we always go on about are the banks! The sand here on the beach is part of the community! It comes and goes & moves along different parts of the beach - the slip, the cannon, the strand! Another thing you’ll hear mentioned constantly is how good the food is in @stoked_strandhill !

Between now & the Strandhill Surf Folk exhibition opening on May 29th, I’m going to revisit a few portraits but adding a personal quote from each person about surfing & the community of Strandhill! Everyone has something different to say but all hopefully resonates with the community spirit of surfers around Sligo! First up is Myles, one half of the surfing duo that runs & owns @shellscafe Not only are Jane & Myles supporting the exhibition but they’re also included as portraits that will be on the wall! All 6 supporting businesses are surfer owned or run, and all have been photographed! Myles says “Lifestyle first, and career second is the choice for many of our community including ourselves and it pays off well living here!”.

I think I’ve said this a couple of times already but Ray here really is the last portrait to be included in the forthcoming exhibition opening on May 29th in @nationalsurfcentre ! Ray has been on my list since day 1, not just because he’s Gearoid’s dad, not just because he’s become known as dad-cam for all his filming of his son! But because I’ve known him since I started surfing in 2007. He was always in the water. Actually the first time I seen him catch a wave I wondered why he didn’t stand up….that was my first introduction to knee-boarding!! Ray, like Stan, Tom, Bingo, Johnston, has some amazing old time stories of surfing in Strandhill & the lengths they went too to get in the water! Be sure to ask him on the opening night!

Second waiting for good weather this April was risky but look here, the sun came out & we shot in & around the dunes of Strandhill in the most glorious light…probably the nicest light since the first portraits of @markstrandhill & @gemkatnora were shot in March 2023!

When I first started this surf portrait project in March 2023 it quickly changed into a community surfer project. And the mark of a solid, great surf village community is surfers of all ages in the water. And looking through the entire Strandhill folk folio shows that range of ages. You’ll see the whole age range on May 29th when the exhibition opens! This gentleman here, Zekey, is the youngest of the crew I’ve photographed. And he’s already a regular grom in the smaller waves of the beach here. With his older brother @koaegan watching out for him, just watch for these 2 young guys to move up the ranks here! #StrandhillFolk Zekey @zekeyegan surfer, grom. 📷 Canon R6 on 85mm . . #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #surfergrom #gromlife #surfcommunity

Last autumn I was surfing the local point, on a good day, a busy day. Getting my fair share of waves already, a set rolled in, I took off on the peak & just in front on the shoulder a grom dropped in…the wave looked good & I knew this kid could surf so I shouted to stay on, he did & so did I, staying in the pocket watching the grom surf ahead of me on the shoulder all the way to the inside. As we both paddled back out, the grom apologised for dropping in…but I just said no problem at all, great wave & gave him a quick fist bump. That grom was Koa here! Thats how you gain real respect in a lineup 🤜 🤛🏼 #StrandhillFolk Koa @koaegan surfer, grom. 📷 Canon R6 on 85mm . . #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #surfergrom #gromlife #surfcommunity

Surfing…it’s not like riding a bike! Exact words from Neil here as we chatted yesterday prior to getting some portraits for the Strandhill Folk project in glorious light! A born & bred local, one of the few I have photographed, Neil surfed before taking time out to pursue a life in the senior ranks of @sligogaa only to come back to the water again when he hung up the boots. He’s also one of the few people I’d meet kayaking in the bay around here, before some of the local spots became popular! . This is also probably the last portrait I will shoot before I get all 80 images ready for Strandhill Surf Folk exhibition coming in May! Plans are coming together for an opening evening…plans are changing as well depending on ideas but I’ll get there! For now, most images are chosen but there’s a couple I keep changing round!!

The cool thing about doing these portraits is you learn a little about each person and their history of surfing. Some have been surfing forever, some haven’t surfed for years…some are fairly new to it…& some used to surf, took a break & are now back on it! Regardless, it’s the pull of the ocean that draws us all in!

Photographing adults while not easy is pretty straightforward! Photographing kids, that’s another thing altogether. Thankfully I’ve learned a thing or two from shooting almost 600 weddings, most of which have included kids! Ruairi here was a pro…as was his brother Darragh from the previous post.

We’re well into spring here in Ireland, which means we’re getting more surfs in the evenings & we can stay out in the water for longer. Which is nice when a sweet wee swell pushes in too! This evening was particularly fun & some of the locals were on it stylin’! Actually quite a few that are already part of #Strandhillfolk !! @briantiv @neilwalton9872 @aoifs_flanagan @gemkatnora & Mary here was catching waves galore out there.

Back in 2007 when I started surfing, I got my board from Outerpoint but they didn’t have a wettie that fit me. So I ended up getting one online & it was a West brand one for some reason. Low & behold the only other person I’d see in the line up with a West suit was Clodagh! Turns out she used to be a West supported surfer I think! From then until now, Clodagh is always out there, generally on some really sweet looking boards!

I’d say in every surf town or village there’s one or two guys that are nearly always on it whenever there’s a wave.

Panamerican Blues on @surfsessionmag Super proud of this article. HOWEVER, as we gain more experience in the publishing world, we’ve realized that, to a certain extent, you don’t get to choose which pictures will appear in each publication. Most of the time, the pictures are selected based on an artistic line, and they don’t match the words as much as we’d like. It’s not a complaint, just a fact! I guess the answer would be to create our own magazine 😉 Anyways, in this specific article, although their names appear, we would have loved to see their faces and talents on display—the ones who shared their thoughts and without whom this article wouldn’t have been possible. So here they are! GRACIAS Carlos @carlos_pasheko y Olivia @mbp.olivia 🙏 GRACIAS Pipe @vibrasurf 🤙🏼 OBRIGADO/A Otavio, Ju e Louie @casadocrocodilo ✨ L’été dernier, Max a écrit l’un des plus beaux de ses articles, un des plus réfléchis et des plus importants pour nous (dans le sens qui nous tenait vraiment à cœur). Un article dans lequel il voulait aborder l’impact de la « mondialisation » du surf, sur les populations, l’environnement, ou encore l’économie d’un pays… d’après ce que nous avons perçu, entendu, et vu, au cours de notre voyage en Amérique latine. Un article qui n’aurait jamais été possible sans l’aide de (dans l’ordre d’apparition des photos) : Carlos, Pipe, Otavio, Ju (et leur petite Louie), et Olivia. On en est très fiers, et ce numéro Hiver de Surf Session est dispo dans les kiosques ou en ligne 🤙🏼 Cela dit, on a été déçus d’une chose : les portraits associés aux voix des surfeurs et surfeuses que l’on a rencontrés au cours de notre voyage n’ont pas été intégrés à l’article. Pour rétablir tout ça, on voulait les présenter ici, avec leur vague fétiche : Carlos en Baja California Sur, Pipe au Salvador, Otavio et Ju au Brésil puis Olivia en Baja California Sur.

Some of the people I’ve photographed for this project I’ve only known a few minutes, others it seems almost a lifetime. Dean here is part of the latter crew, probably someone I’ve kinda known the longest being that he lived next door to me while I was either finishing secondary or just going into college. I got to know him surfing then when I started & it was him & the crew he surfed with that introduced me to Blue Rock…it’s been my favourite wave since!

It’s been a little while but the local Strandhill community surfer portrait sessions are back! It’s almost a year since I started shooting them in the village & around 75 people have been involved in them. I’m always grateful when people give me their time to step in front of the camera & I’m still learning about all the cool things this community gets up to when they’re not in the water. Stay tuned for plenty more portraits! And as always if you’re in Strandhill or the surrounding areas & are up for a portrait, reach out & join the #Strandhillfolk Tim, surfer, swimmer, RNLI 📷 Canon R6 on 85mm. . . #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #localcommunity #rnli

Legendary Surfer from Japan 🇯🇵 Hiro Aoyama, captured by me 📸 @pgfilms.co Throughout my photography career, I have been fortunate to photograph numerous well-known athletes and personalities, but Aoyama-san holds a special place in my heart. Our connection spans over a decade, and I am grateful for the impact he has had on my life. At times, I view him as the father figure I never had. Our shared experiences have been filled with countless adventures, from memorable trips to Hawaii and challenging big slab pursuits in Japan, to exciting journeys to Sri Lanka and some remote islands. Seeing him healthy and robust at 72 years old, now a father to a one-year-old daughter, brings me immense joy. Although our time together in Hawaii was brief on this occasion, we made the most of it—relieving the longing, sharing a few beers, capturing memories through photography, and engaging in deep conversations about life. I eagerly look forward to meeting his daughter and spending more time with this living legend. #livinglegend #hiroaoyama #surfer #surfphotography #surferportraits #pedrogomesphotography

Fitting the first picture is how I’ll always remember 2023, not in a good way. Miss you dad. From San Francisco & 49ers in January to shooting portraits all around the village. Again thanks to all the Strandhill local surfers that took part in #StrandhillFolk portrait project. 2024 will see if I can showcase them somewhere in the village in the way I intended them, printed! . . #strandhillphotographer #sligophotographer #strandhillmoments #2023topnine #2023top9 #top9 #yearend #strandhillportraits #localsurfers #surferportraits #pronepaddler #pronepaddling #notagoodyear

And like that, on 1st September, today, first day of autumn, the ocean in Strandhill finally woke up & delivered us decent waves…with some more serious stuff to follow! And I hear this guy was out in it 🤙🏽 Autumn for the past few years just hasn’t delivered much for us. With non-existent Septembers for the most part, this year has started perfectly!

It’s been a while since I had a surfer in front of my 85mm lens….between a flat summer, my dad passing away, and Strandhill full of tourists, I’ve put it on the back burner.

The thing about surfing your own local break for years is that you see the up & coming groms…Gearoid being the first I remember…from a tiny kid to world class surfer in a few years. Lorcan here was probably the next. Surfing with his dad Jason, you seen him progress quickly & before you know it, as good as his dad if not better!! One to watch so keep an eye on that name! Like Abdel in the previous post, Lorcan (& Gearoid) is fresh back from El Salvador after representing Ireland!

With a run of pretty mega weather but almost zero waves it’s harder to find portraits to take but I’m still getting through the original list I have & there’s always a few locals around…I just have to look harder!!!

The eagle eyed amongst you might recognise the castle in the reflection in one of these shots. Yes I left the village to shoot Gavin’s portraits. In this mega weather we both fancied a change of scenery! Fresh from documenting @wildrootsofficial this past weekend (Gavin that is), we took 30 minutes of calmness near Easkey castle to grab these portraits…much like the calmness required to photograph the Irish wildlife that Gavin witnesses on a regular basis.

Over this past week as we’ve been basking in the sunshine & some of us are prone paddling on the flat water, Strandhill surfers @gearoidmcdaid & @lorcansouthcombe have been representing Ireland in El Savador. Gabe here is next! He’s of the few Sup guys I trust in the water (@jasonsmithrun & @mammy_johnstons Bingo being the others). He will be representing Ireland, this time at the SUP Euros in Peniche in autumn.

I came into triathlon from a swimming background. Like a lot of other guys/girls around my age, I put my time in from about 5 years old, in the over chlorinated Summerhill college pool, with the legendary Sibil Higgins shouting at me until my technique was right! We then split to join the new swimming club and I stayed there until I had enough of the early mornings! My first ever sea swim race was in the 1999 Rosses Point triathlon as part of a relay with legends Daire Mooney on the bike & Dermot McDermott running the 10km...we finished 3rd, with no training or anything!! I swam the 1500m in a speedo as I didn't own a wetsuit at the time…I didn't surf yet so why would I have one!! These days the open water is full of swimmers, in the Point & in the safe spots around Strandhill. But the pool is still where the magic training happens!! Just not in Summerhill anymore 🤣 Scot, surfer, swimmer. 📷 Canon R6 on 85mm. . . #surfportrait #strandhillpeople #strandhillfolk #localfaces #strandhill #strandhillmoments #sligophotographer #surferportraits #portraitproject #authenticportraits #localcommunity #surflegend #seaswimmer #sligoswimmer #warriorofthesea #openwaterswimming

The 90's era! I guess you could say this was my era except I wasn't lucky enough to start surfing then! Living near town you had to either have parents who didn't mind driving a lot to Strandhill, or know someone living in Strandhill who had parents picking up your mate in town so you could get a lift in & out! I was in the swimming club at the time so between that & school in Summerhill I knew some guys that surfed, @surferdavido and legend Paul Rennick (RIP). I never knew Colin at the time, but knew he ripped out in the water...& he still does! These 90's guys took what the Byrne brothers were doing & went next level with it! Progression with each generation!

Surfers are very much like photographers…there’s nearly always something wrong with conditions/light! Too much wind, too much sun, wind from wrong direction, too much cloud, swell too big, location not great!! But occasionally for both surfers & photographers it does all come together for some perfect sessions…the rest of the time we just make the most of what Mother Nature gives us!

The ones that stand out are @lewishamilton @sebastianvettel @nicorosberg (12 F1 titles between them!).
