Who is matt harber photo

Capturing the raw power of heavy waves through the lens has always been my passion, intertwining seamlessly with my love for bodyboarding. With over 30 years dedicated to both the sport and photography, I've transformed what began as hobbies into a vibrant lifestyle business.

The ocean offers a canvas of exhilarating motion and colour, where each wave tells a story of energy and adventure. My experience in big waves informs every shot I take, allowing me to anticipate the moment when nature reveals its most dramatic expressions. The interplay of sunlight on water, the deep blues contrasted with frothy whites, and the thrill of capturing fun characters riding the swell create bold, colourful photography that brings life to the ocean's beauty.

Every session at the beach is an opportunity to document the thrill of the ride and the dynamic spirit of those who share my passion. The eclectic mix of artistry and athleticism allows me to explore new techniques and styles, driven by years of experience and a deep understanding of the ocean’s rhythm.

By aligning my photography with the ethos of bodyboarding, I not only showcase the intensity of the waves but also celebrate the characters that embody the lifestyle. The resulting images are not just photographs; they are heartfelt narratives that resonate with anyone who shares a love for the ocean.

In this journey, I aim to inspire others to embrace the ocean, whether through riding its waves or simply appreciating the unique beauty it offers. With each bold shot, I capture the essence of the sea while sharing my lifelong commitment to both bodyboarding and photography. This is more than a career; it’s a true passion that reflects who I am.
