‘Dark Side of the Lens’ featuring Irish surf photographer Mickey Smith
January 27th, 2011
Dark Side of the Lens presents the art and inner voice of Irish surf photographer Mickey Smith. The six minute film lets you experience Smith’s aesthetics translated into beautiful practice. (“I wanna see waveriding documented the way I see it in my head, and the way I feel it in the sea.”) But then it rather poetically cracks open the personal philosophy of the artist:
I never set out to become anything in particular, only to live creatively and push the scope of my experience for adventure and for passion… The raw brutal cold coastlands for the right waveriders to challenge – this is where my heart beats hardest…
Just Awesome!
October 25th, 2010
Brilliance! The crew took a road trip down the west coast of Mexico in a beat-up 1976 Winnebago, following the sunshine. Legendary surf director Taylor Steele captured the journey on film along with Chris Searl on stills. Clemenger BBDO Melbourne have in my opinion have made a little bit of advertising gold folks.
