Jamie O'Brien

Shot this portrait shot of Jamie on his back patio on the North Shore.  Jamie has a web tv series going on at Red Bull.  Pretty funny stuff. Reality tv on the web. Check it out here.

Jamie O'Brien

Went over to Haleiwa to shoot photos of Jamie O'Brien today catching a few waves.

More Photoshoots Today

Spent the day shooting lifestyle shots, editing photos, late surf photo session at Rocky Point and dinner at Ted's Bakery.  Spent the rest of the night going through photos and then up tomorrow and shoot the Backdoor Shootout contest.

Jamie O'Brien Switch Board at Backdoor

Waited all day for Jamie to paddle out at Pipe so I could get some shots.  At the end of the day he paddles out, but with 2 boards.  He would paddle on both boards, get into the wave and then switch boards and go Backdoor.  He did it a few times with success and this one he just couldn't make it out of the wave.  I have a hard time surfing on one board let alone 2.

Jamie O'Brien/Body Glove Ad/Bliss Magazine Layout

Been working from home the last few days. One of the projects I needed to get done was a ad that was due today for Orange County surf magazine called BLiSS. It's a free magazine you can probably pick up at the surf shops down there. I didn't shoot the photo but did major color correction and image quality enhancement. The original shot was on a overcast day and the photo was gray and flat.  That is a shot of Jamie O'Brien at Nias from this past month or 2 ago.

Jamie O'Brien - North Shore - Pipeline

A few shots of Jamie O'Brien from my recent trip to Hawaii a few weeks ago. Jamie O'Brien lives right in front of Pipeline on the North Shore. All he does is wake up look out his window and walk down a few steps and across the beach and he's paddling into this in no time. One of the best surfers right now to surf Pipe. He was on every set that came in.
