“Ever since my feet met a surfboard I contemplated capturing surf photography with my own eye. I picked up a camera and photographed waves voraciously in New Jersey. I used vacation days to photograph surf trips, to travel and to shoot new work at home. I became consumed with the art,” admits Ryan Struck, a professional surf photographer based in New Jersey. “I am now at the freelance juncture in my career and in business for myself full time. I have a lust for the outdoor life and I love translating that visually. I strive to make the most of what I have today and approach each job with the same vigor as if it were my very first project.”
