PHOTOGRAPHY AND RAMBLINGS OF NATE SMITH
An old film shot ( KODAK EPP ) i recently found of my first ever Fashion Shoot for a surf wear label. This image was deemed too risky for their campaign, they`ve since relaxed.
The girl here is Australian Lads mag regular Imogen Bailey who at one point was a household name and later went on to appear in the Australian Tv series Neighbours.
Not sure of her whereabouts at this point in time, but hey who cares. Its all about the photo !
This will be out in Tracks Mag next month.

Ah the delights of a Sth Coast venture.
Fresh air, nice people and pretty damn awesome waves.
I could shoot these things all day everyday.
Where ?
Not telling.

Here is Taj Burrow having a moment during a shoot i did for Billabong for their new board short range that for some reason needed a female Model back in May 2011 while he was in Sydney for a couple of days.
I think the shot really speaks for itself !
A quick shoot is a good shoot.

Mr Kelly Slater or ” His Lordship ” i kindly refer to him by, accepting a standing ovation at this years ASP Banquet on the Gold Coast while receiving his 11th World Title Trophy.
Looking humbled and somewhat satisfied, but knowing that he loves a challenge, id say this year is going to be a good one now that there are a heap of young crew nipping at his heals.

After a really busy start to the year with the Quik Pro and then a Reef Ad campaign shoot in Byron ive come home to now another kind of busy, sorting through one of many boxes of old slides and proof sheets.
I stumbled upon this shoot i did with the infamous Christian Fletcher, a rad man in or out of the water.
I shot these at an old house he was staying at in Avalon with some close friends of mine on an old Pentax 6x7.
Pretty classic, and im sure Christian is still being Christian.

Ive been in Byron Bay all this week shooting an Advertising campaign with the Reef Team which has been fun and productive.
Saw some really nice light beaming through the trees while i was shooting yesterday aided by the salt air.
Spooky but cool.
