The Journey from Passionate Amateur to Award-Winning Surf Photographer, Oscar Hetherington.

Coming from a family that enjoyed beach holidays, he was instantly hooked on catching waves. In addition to surfing, he also took up photography to document sessions with friends. He began honing his skills by shooting local competitions and events featuring the surfing community.

For years, he worked to steadily build his portfolio and improve through shooting. All of his hard work finally paid off when he won an award from the prestigious Follow the Light Foundation for his surf photography. This major accomplishment opened new doors, like assisting professional surfers on international shoots.

Oscar is based in Hawkes Bay New Zealand
