When he assisted fashion photographers early in his career, Mr. Bielmann said, everything in surfing photography was “fast and sharp and blue and pretty.” So he adopted popular fashion techniques, like “really grainy films and cross processing,” to create a gritty look for portraits and advertising shots. These grew popular with other photographers and surfers.
There has been no shortage of good surf photography recently from Clark Little to Eric Nelson. It's great to see the evolution and experimentation going on right now.
