“This life’s journey has taken me to nearly 100 countries, exhausted over a dozen passports and enriched my life beyond my wildest dreams.”
Aligning his philosophy of life, surf adventure and exploration with like minded companies saw relationships built with brands as the Surf Industry grew. Rip Curls ‘The Search’, Billabongs ‘The Odyssey’ and Quiksilvers 'The Crossing’ campaigns which afforded him the opportunity to take his travels to the ends of the earth.
With a formal photographic background from RMIT University in Melbourne Australia and assisting legendary Magnum photographer Burt Glinn in New York, Ted’s style has a solid technical foundation. Combine this with the influence of photojournalism – capturing the integrity of a moment via the truth on an image.
