Capturing movement, light and life on water.

Water photography asks for a different kind of patience: waiting for the right set, the right light on a wave face, the right moment as a rider commits, often while being in the water or positioned above it by drone.

It’s one of the more physically demanding briefs in the portfolio, shaped by years spent reading Cornwall’s coastline, swells and tides.

PT Creative shoots surf, watersports and water-based content not just across Cornwall but all over the world for surf and swimwear brands, watersports schools, event organisers and tourism operators who want imagery with genuine energy rather than a stock-shot feel.
Coverage includes in-water photography for close, immersive action shots, drone footage for the wider compositions that show a break, a beach or an event in full context, and topside work for brand and lifestyle content around the water’s edge.

Conditions dictate everything here: swell size, wind direction, tide and light all factor into planning a shoot, and sessions are scheduled around the forecast rather than a fixed calendar, to give the best chance of genuinely good water and light on the day.
Water housing and marine-safe equipment make close-quarters in-water shooting possible without compromising on image quality.

Images are delivered fully edited, ready for web, social, print and campaign use, with a licence covering your own commercial marketing.

If you’ve a brand, a school or an event that lives on the water, let’s talk.
