SICK COVER SHOT

KHOL CHRISTENSEN . PHOTO:B.LEMOS

AFTER I TOOK THIS SHOT OF KHOL CHRISTENSEN , WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE BOAT PREVIEWING THE IMAGES , I HAD THE FEELING THIS SHOT WOULD MAKE A SICK COVER.

I SUBMITTED THESE IMAGES TO A FEW DIFFERENT MAGAZINES BUT AMAZINGLY NO ONE PICKE THE PHOTO FOR A COVER.

FIVE MONTHS LATER SURFAR MAGAZINE WAS WORKING ON A ARTICLE " THE YEAR IN REVIEW " SO I SEND THEN A FEW IMAGES AND WHEN THE EDITOR , ZE ROBERTO ANIBAL SAW THAT PHOTO HE TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE " WE HAVE A SICK COVER MAN!" I STARTED LAUGHING BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME FEELING I HAD A FEW MONTH BEFORE RIGHT AFTER I TOOK THAT SHOT!

WAVE OF THE WINTER ENTRY NUMBER 1

SO FAR IT'S BEEN A BAD SEASON ,

BUT NOT FOR THE HAWAIIAN SURFER FLYNN NOVAK. HE LANDED ONE OF THE HARDES MOVES EVER , THE " FLINTSTONE FLIP".

IT HAPPENED ON THE NOV/20th AT ROCKY POINT.

I SUBMITED THE VIDEO TO SURFLINE AND IT WAS ACTUALY THE 1ST ENTRY OF THE SEASSON FOR THIS YEAR "WAVE OF THE WINTER".

NOT A BAD START!!!

BIGGEST TEAHUPO'O EVER?

NATHAN FLETCHER , TEAHUPO'O . photo:B.Lemos
BRUNO LEMOS , TEAHUPO'O.

I HAD A VERY HARD TIME PHOTOGRAPHING ON THAT DAY , JUST TOO MANY BOAST ON THE CHANNEL , PLUS RAIN!!!

MISSED A BUNCH OF SHOTS...

BUT GOT A FEW GOOD ONES...

LIKE THIS ONE OF NATHAN FLETCHER!!!

APPARENTLY WITH A GOOD POTENTIAL FOR THE BILLABONG XXL GLOBAL BIG WAVES AWARD.

BELLOW A SEGMENT THE I EDITED WITH SOME OF THE VIDEO FOOTAGE THAT I GOT BY USING A VIDEO CAMERA MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE STILL CAMERA.

XXL POSTER

SANE DORIAN-PEAHI. PHOTO:B.LEMOS

THE NEW POSTER FOR THE BILLABONG XXL 2011 JUST CAME OUT.

I'M VERY PROUD THAT THEY SELECT ONE OF MY SHOTS OUT OF SHANE DORIAN'S SEQUENCE.

THE COMPETITION AMONG PHOTOGRAPHERS IS SO INTENSE NOW DAYS , THAT WHEN YOU SEE A MAIN STEAM COMPANY LIKE BILLABONG , CHOOSING YOUR OVER THE WORK OF MANY OTHER GOOD PHOTOGRAPHERS ,THIS IS VERY REWARDING.

ALMA SURF COVER SHOT

HAROLDO AMBROSIO - PHANTOMS , PHOTO:B.LEMOS

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A BRAZILIAN SURFER RIDING A SUP BOARD GETS THE COVER ON A SURF MAGAZINE.

HAROLDO AMBROSIO IS A GREAT WATER MAN AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I GET TO HAVE ONE OF HIS SHOTS ON A COVER. THE LAST ONE WAS ON FLUIR MAGAZINE ISSUE #244 ON A HUGE WAVE AT PEAHI.

THIS TIME I GET TO SHOOT HIM ON A DECENT SIZE WAVE AT PHANTOMS AND THE EDITOR ROMEU ANDREATTA HAD NO DOUBTS ABOUT SELECTING THE SHOT FOR THE COVER.

HYPERFREAK

DANILO COUTO-FIJI. PHOTO: LEMOS

HYPERFREAK IS O'NEILL'S NEW LINE OF SURF SHORTS.

DURING THIS EPIC DAY OF SURFING AT CLOUD BREAK DANILO COUTO (O'NEILL BRAZIL) HAPPENED TO BE USING ONE OF THOSE SHORTS AND RECENTLY O'NEILL DECIDED TO USE THIS SHOT AS A DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD ON FLUIR MAGAZINE (FEB ISSUE).

I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE LATELY THE MAJORITY OF MY SURFING PICTURES WAS ACTUALLY BEING USED MORE ON EDITORIALS THAN ON PUBLICITY .

PIPELINE - PHOTO: LEMOS

LIKE LAST YEAR , THE PHOTO DEPARTMENT OF SURFAR MAGAZINE DECIDED TO RUN ONE OF MY SHOT ON THE COVER OF THE JANUARY ISSUE . THIS TIME WASN'T THE TOW-IN WORLD CHAMP RODRIGO RESENDE A HUGE BOMB AT PEAHI , (http://blemos.blogspot.com/2010/01/first-cover-shot-of-year.html), BUT INSTEAD, GABRIEL MEDINA DOING A HUGE AND CRAZY AIR ON A 3 FOOT WAVE AT OFF THE WALL. WHAT A CONTRAST HUM? REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE WAVE I'M VERY PLEASED TO START THE YEAR WITH A COVER ON A MAGAZINE WITH SUCH PRESTIGE LIKE SURFAR MAG HAS IN RIO-DE-JANEIRO WITCH IS MY HOME TOWN. ALSO GOT A COUPLE SPREAD PAGES ON THAT SAME ISSUE AND WHAT I LIKE THE MOST WAS THAT I BECAME A COLUMNIST FOR THOSE GUYS. I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
