In this episode we chat with Sachi Cunningham, an award winning filmmaker, water surf photographer, and Associate Professor of Journalism at San Francisco State University. Her work has been featured in global brand campaigns and for outlets including the NY Times and the Today Show. 

In this episode, Sachi discusses her journey in the world of surf photography, her love for big waves, the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and her approach to shooting in big surf. Sachi reflects on the changing landscape of water photography with the rise of social media. She emphasizes the importance of surrendering to the power of the waves and the thrill of capturing unique moments. We also chat about Sachi's recent documentary film, fundraising challenges for independent filmmakers, and the importance of documenting and appreciating the history of women in surfing.
