BLACK WATER COVER SHOT

RAMON NAVARO - COVER BY: B.LEMOS

IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE ANY OF THE ISSUE OF BLACK WATER MAGAZINE , YOU NEED TO CHECK THOSE GUYS OUT! THEY ARE VERY CREATIVE AND THEY SHARE DEFINITELY BEING A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR MANY.

SO EVERY TIME I SEE ONE OF MY SHOTS PUBLISHED ON THAT MAG I GET REALLY HAPPY. NOW DAYS IS SO HARD TO GET STUFF PUBLISHED THAT WHEN YOU SEE A BUNCH OF YOUR SHOTS STAMPED ON A FEW SPREAD PAGES ON A SINGLE ISSUE IT IS VERY REWARDING , AND TO MAKE THE COVER IT FEELS EVEN BETTER. I THINK THIS WIS PROBABLY THE MY LAST COVER OF THE YEAR!

BY THE WAY...HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR YOU ALL.

ART IN SURF

SURF AND ART ARE TWO WORDS THAT GOES TOGETHER ...

WHEN A SURFER STANDS ON TOP OF A BOARD ITS JUST LIKE WHEN A PAINTER GRABS HIS BRUSH...

THE ART BEGINS...

HAVING MY WORK RECOGNISED BY THE "ART IN SURF" CREW IT IS A TREMENDOUS PRIVILEGE BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS SUCH A FEELING TOWARDS THE SURF CULTURE AND ALL THE ART THAT SURROUNDS THE SPORT.

GRACIE MAGAZINE COVER SHOT

RICKSON GRACIE - WAIMEA BAY PHOTO: BRUNO LEMOS

I CLEARLY REMEMBER SEEING THE FIRST ISSUES OF THE GRACIE MAG BACK IN THE MID 80'S WHEN I USED TO LIVE IN RIO . " THE MAG" WAS MORE LIKE A NEWS LETTER FOR THE STUDENTS OF THE GRACIE ACADEMY , ONLY A FEW PAGES , ALL IN BLACK AND WHITE .
WITH THE BOOMING OF THE BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU AROUND THE WORLD THE MAG ALSO TOOK OFF.
AND TO ME WAS A BIG HONER TO HAVE ONE OF MY SHOTS ON THE COVER OF THE LAST ISSUE #152 , SPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE ELEMENTS INVOLVED ON THAT IMAGE FIRST THE LOCATION WAIMEA BAY WITCH IS AN AMAZING PLACE AND SECOND HAVING RICKSON GRACIE THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR FROM THE GRACIE FAMILY SMILING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME DURING THE CEREMONY FOR THE EDDIE AIKAU BIG WAVE EVENT...
DEFINITELY A GRATE MOMENT THAT CALLS FOR A COVER SHOT , IT WAS A VERY GOOD CALL THAT THE EDITOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY MADE.
STOKED!!!
