Success as a surf<br />
photographer isn’t only the<br />
result of good technique<br />
or sangfroid in monster<br />
waves. It also depends on<br />
one’s relationship with<br />
the surfers, and Bielmann<br />
was close with many,<br />
including the late Andy<br />
Irons (pictured here).<br />
“Now that Andy is gone,<br />
this photograph makes me<br />
feel like he was passing<br />
from one world to another,”<br />
Bielmann says. “When<br />
I took it, it was just Andy<br />
and I fooling around with<br />
underwater shots in Fiji.<br />
But now it feels more<br />
meaningful.”<br />
