Having spent almost a decade behind the camera, Rod Owen’s humble beginnings in Newcastle make us admire his work even more. He’s a name now synonymous with surf photography, while his portfolio is expanding to encompass fashion and other realms.

In this edition of Frames, Owen hands us ten photos which showcase his breathtaking brand of emotive photography. It’s an awesome display of Mother Nature’s power, and a reminder of her all-encompassing beauty. These photos are making us itch for summer and a weekend getaway – they’re nothing short of stunning. If this isn’t enough for you, get on his daily gram feed: @owenphoto
