Photolyfe: John Respondek

Welcome to PhotoLyfe, in which Stab’s favourite photographers answer questions about themselves with their own images. It’s that old picture-tells-a-thousand-words chestnut but with more colour and pop. It’s a way to cut out all the bullshit. It’s like jacking into the main vein of those who supply us with exquisite surf imagery every day. Give thanks by studying each image with a more careful eye than ever! John Respondek hates talking about himself. But, if double barrel rifle or small calibre handgun were held to temple, this is what we might extract: “Surf photography has introduced me to some of my best friends. Basically, I love just travelling around and having a hell time with my pals. Shooting, surfing, partying and all the other good stuff. Hmmm… what else. I dunno.” We don’t need no more than that! Be sure to put this man in your Instagram feed, too: @johnrespondek 1. Describe yourself   2. Where are you from?   3. What got you into photography?   4. Where do you wish you were right now?   5. What inspires you?   6. Who’s your favourite person to photograph?   7. What makes the best photograph?   8. What’s your favourite weapon?   9. Describe your mood right now.   10. What else should we know about you?
