Turns out shooting underwater is a whole different game.

Learning to hold my breath, figure out where to be, and somehow remember to take a photo in the middle of it all.

It’s been humbling, a little chaotic, and a lot of fun.

Pretty cool being a beginner again. Even cooler seeing familiar places from a completely different perspective. by @parkerinthewater

Proof that @kaiiiikaiiikaiikai was here. The jokes didn’t make it into the photos. by @parkerinthewater

Recently I had the opportunity to shoot with @ryansakalsurfboards, a dream I’ve had for over 3 years. Here are some of my favorite frame grabs showing what Ryan does best. Stoked to get back in and share more. by @parkerinthewater

Some frames from L/QUID DISPATCH Vol. 01.

Proud of the work and the people behind it. A lot of time in the water led to this.

Big thanks to @rawoceanphotography for the idea and for bringing a group of water photographers into the same room to build something for the community.

Same place, different pace. Started half asleep, ended acting like I had nowhere else to be. by @parkerinthewater

I spend a lot of time just standing in the water, not chasing shots or waves. Some frames come together, some drift, and some only show up if I’m patient. That’s the work. Made between sets. by @parkerinthewater

Swimming out before sunrise is always a gamble. Sure you can check the surf forecast, prep your gear and pick the ideal spot based on yesterdays patterns. Perhaps your studying pays off. Maybe you brought your lucky charm. But then again, maybe you missed the swell entirely. I love the process. Leaning into instinct. Jumping in the ocean. Knowing once I’m in, I’m in. Good or bad, it’s too late. I’m already wet - committed to finding the moment. by @parkerinthewater
