Snugg Wetsuits

There is a saying that goes something like "They don't make em like they used to"

At Snugg wetsuits they still do, with skilled technicians still building each suit from start to finish in the U.K.

Unlike most companies who start off making a great product, then change focus to making a great profit, Snugg have kept to their objectives of hand making a low volume high quality class of wetsuit for conditions that will not tolerate fashion over function.

They are one of the last manufacturers world wide who still offer a bespoke custom built wetsuit, preferring to cater to the individual rather than the masses.

Snugg wetsuits are available to order direct from the factory on +44 (0)1637 878488 or go see the team at Gulfstream in North Devon for a measure up and to place an order.

50mm Lens test

Some more water shots with Aquatech housing and a 50mm 1.4 lens made in 1964 by Asahi Pentax.
Loving the depth of field the lens gives shooting at F2.

The surf instructor is Lyndon Wake who is pretty well qualified to teach others to surf.

ShowReel

This is a collection of shots from some recent projects.

I love being involved in all sorts of media production, from corporate promos, event coverage, weddings, fashion and fiction, documentaries and travel pieces to sport and water based content.

I am happy to produce, direct, shoot, edit and assist with promotion, and enjoy working with people or alone depending on the jobs requirements.

Hopefully this showreel does more of the talking, but please feel free to contact me regarding any future projects.

Tiki Promo vids

Part of a series of promotional videos for one of the countries premium surf companies, Tiki international.
All in all the project outline was to produce 18 videos, featuring products from the Feather Foil, Beginner and Trade range, as well as their top of then range wetsuit, called the Zephyr.
Theses are primarily going to be used as communication pieces aimed at online shoppers needing information on potential purchases.

I believe that with online shopping going the way it is, more and more companies will be investing in these sort of informative pieces of content, as the demand from the consumer for quick, easy and presentable product videos increases.

Winter Retrospective

A look back at some memorable moments of chasing beasts around the Atlantic from the perspective of Andrew Cotton. Building on a history of quietly and humbly charging these European big wave spots, to suddenly being touted by the media as one of the key players in this new to be famous arena, Andrew just gets on with the job and continues to put himself in to the most critical situations the Atlantic can throw at him and his crew.
