I mentioned to Belinda the image I had in mind and wanted to create. I don't think many photographers had actually approached her with a specific goal in mind. Needless to say, she was intrigued. I simply asked to her get as nasally (on the nose) as possible, have fun, and relax, and hopefully I could accomplish the rest. Belinda proceeded to do just that, and we walked away with an image I feel her and I are both truly happy to be apart of creating. – D.P.

To the casual observer, the growth curve of surf photographer Dane Peterson might look absurdly steep—an “overnight success.” Hardly. His studied compositions and uncanny eye for subtlety are informed by his years of surfing prowess. As one of the two or three best surfers of his generation at Malibu, Dane had been visually framing photos long before he held a camera. An expatriation to Australia further stocked his file of mental pictures. When he began shooting in earnest, he was halfway home.

While many of today’s finest young water photographers focus on peak action moments, Peterson invariably looks for the honesty and beauty found in transitional moments. It’s a strategy that will serve him well, as these are the quiet “spaces in between” that endlessly accumulate, finally defining our memories of sliding on water.
