Portfolio - Diggy Smerdon
Diggy Smerdon – an unusual name for an unusual girl.
Nací hace 24 años (enero , 1985) en un barrio a las afueras de Aviles, ciudad de la costa central Asturiana, Norte de España. Empecé a sacar fotos a los 21 años, poco tiempo después de comenzar a hacer surf, cuando por casualidad llego a mis manos mi primera camara digital. (Also in English below…)
Nací y vivo en Uruguay, tengo 22 años y actualmente estoy terminando la licenciatura en diseño grafico. (In English below…)
Meet Ed: in 2004, at the age of 30, Ed Fladung jettisoned his life in Los Angeles and moved to Mexico; along the way he learned to surf.
Back in April I made a trip to the Mentawai Islands, which are situated several hours West of Sumatra in Indonesia. Usually with these sort of trips I’m hellbent on getting the best possible shots I can for whichever magazine I’m shooting for and don’t get to surf much.
I would like to see myself as a traveling artist/jeweler and my goal is to be able to create anywhere in the world with and on any medium available.
Here are some old pictures I took on a little adventure to Mundaka a few years ago. I somehow managed to get my university to let me know on an “exchange” so I basically got to travel across europe from Spain to Poland. It was pretty rad but the surf wasn’t so good in the Czech Republic.
Some photographers see a lot of the effects created as faults (vignette framing, light leaks, grainy or deeply saturated pictures) but I feel it adds to the artistic approach of my photography. You can see more of my work at www.alisonmcmullon.f2s.com.
From a very young age I have been passionate about photography. As a child I would pick up newspapers and magazines, religiously flicking from cover to cover in search of a single photograph that could describe a complex story, studying the image for some time, before turning to the accompanying text.
A winter jaunt in Celtic climes is strictly for the keen… The waves are fickle and dicey, there is no predictability, but this can add to the pleasure. Dan Crockett and Greg Welch capture moments of joy amid the chaos.
