EXOTIC LOCATION TO LEARN FROM THE BEST

- MICHAEL SAUNDERS

THE never-ending search for the best waves and amazing landscapes has taken Gold Coast photograph­y maestro Ted Grambeau to some of the most exotic locations on the planet.

With a career spanning four decades and travelling to more than 100 countries, Grambeau is regarded as one of the world’s most experience­d and respected surf photograph­ers.

Now budding photograph­ers have the chance to learn from the master himself as part of a unique surf photograph­y workshop.

The Surf Ocean Lifestyle Masterclas­s will feature Grambeau and other leading photograph­ers who will guide participan­ts through eight days of in-depth lessons as they live on location in Bali – home to some of the world’s best waves.

“This workshop is about exploring a participan­t’s potential and to improve their photograph­y,” Grambeau said.

“There are a lot of things I take for granted as a photograph­er that others don’t get to experience. So I am hoping to pass on some of my knowledge and help photograph­ers reach their full potential.”

After first picking up a camera when he was 18 years old, Grambeau soon found the world of photograph­y works hand in hand with his desire to travel the world.

The Currumbin local has navigated uncharted waters in Indonesia, witnessed some of the biggest waves ever ridden in Tahiti and Hawaii, and documented the careers of some of the world’s most famous surfers including Mick Fanning.

While profession­al photograph­y has become an increasing­ly crowded market with the advancemen­ts in technology, Grambeau said there were certain aspects that could not be found in a YouTube tutorial.

The masterclas­s will take place in Bali from April 27 until May 4. For more informatio­n visit www.fotofrenzy.com.au
