Like many of his seaside colleagues, Matty Dunbar first began photographing when his love of surf developed on the Northern Beaches.

“Naturally I found myself with a camera in hand on every surf trip as a grom,” he says. When he began pointing his camera with greater frequency and quality results, he began an internship with the ASP, where he rubbed shoulders with GOATs and heavyweights from the industry. After fine-tuning his skill set, he’s now been photographing surf everywhere from Hawaii to New Zealand. And his thoughts on it all? “Fuck, I am so lucky,” he says.
