Dave Thew always had his trusty 35mm point and shoot camera handy whilst on the road, leading to a love for film photography. This combined with a passion for both surfing and bodysurfing led the purchase of a waterproof 35mm camera – the Nikonos V.

Byron Bay – There are so many good surfers in this area and such a good vibe in the water, it’s my happy place. Basically, I wanted an excuse to spend more time in the water, and picking up a camera was it!

You will find Dave bobbing about in the water in the Byron Bay area. He’s always keen to shoot so drop him an email at dave_thew@hotmail.com
