Russell Ord: big wave shots
Based in Australia but regularly jetting off around the world, Russell is a surf photographer for hire. These are just a few of his incredible big-wave shots – unbelievable… You can see more of Russell’s work at www.russellord.com.
“I have been a photographer for ten years, and am based in Margaret River,WA, with my wife Catherine and three kids Kalani, Tavian and Ayla. Although I am currently a senior photographer for Tracks, I consider myself more of a freelancer having had work published all around the world in such magazines as Surfer’s Journal / Surfer Mag / Water / National Geographic / Surfing Life / Tracks / Waves / Surfing World / Surfers Path. I like to work with crew that would give up a guaranteed session to find an out-of-the-way slab or beach break. I like to do my own stuff and avoid the crowds, which is getting a lot harder these days.”

Jughead was saying to Russell before he saw Cyclops “do you think you can paddle into it?” Russell gave it a no for sure, but he paddled out to check for himself.
Twenty minutes later – after a pretty decent beating – he managed to get off the island, paddled back and calmly said “you’re right: you can’t paddle it.”
