STU GIBSON/RED BULL ILLUME<br />
Award-winning surf photography isn’t all about<br />
preparation and technique—timing is key, too.<br />
When Tasmanian-born action photographer<br />
Stu Gibson set off for his local big-wave hot<br />
spot with surfer friend Mikey Brennan, little<br />
did he know a career high was looming. “We<br />
were shooting videos with a drone that day,”<br />
says Gibson. “It was kind of gray, and all of a<br />
sudden the sun came out, so I quickly jumped<br />
in the water with my stills camera. About<br />
30 minutes later, it went really cold and ugly<br />
again but I’d got this bomb set of Mikey!”<br />
