Photolyfe: Russ Quinn

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! Russ Quinn, whose domain is the South Coast of Australia, made two big changes recently: First, after 10 years of shooting surfing through a Canon, he made the jump to Nikon. And second, he just quit full-time work to become a bonafide lensman (and nothing else). Russ now shoots weddings all weekend, which suits him just fine since he can shoot surfing from Monday to Friday. Dig on his view of the world below!
