Boardmasters holds a completely unique space in the global festival landscape. Spanning a 65,000-capacity clifftop music festival at Watergate Bay and elite World Surf League (WSL) international competitions at Fistral Beach, it is a massive, multi-venue operation built entirely on the concept of subculture balance.

I have been an official photographer for Boardmasters since 2016. Documenting this festival’s incredible evolution over a decade-long tenure has required complete operational agility, absolute consistency under tight live-turnaround constraints, and an intuitive understanding of the brand's core ethos. My role on the media team means shifting seamlessly between the high-adrenaline action of professional sports, the macro-scale energy of clifftop headliners, and the serene lifestyle culture of the Atlantic coast.
