Shane Nener Photog Profile

Lives Perth, Western Australia
Years Shooting 4
Favourite Riders I rarely shoot with riders, I prefer to focus on working empty wave shots.
I’ve shot with Liam O’keefe a few times and he’s great to work with. Liam’s
always as keen as anything to get out in the water and he’s got some freakishly
good skills on the knee which makes him easy to shoot.
Favourite Location The Box. That wave scares the shit out of me but it’s definitly one of
the most exciting places to shoot.
Favourite Shot Mitch Rawlins inverting at Mandurah Wedge. Booger King advert in Riptide.
Equipment Nikon D300
Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8
Nikon 300mm f/4
Dave Kelly custom housing
Inspirations Other photographers. If i see an epic shot taken by another photographer,
i instantly want to try and take a better one myself. It’s not really a
competitive thing. Just keeping that shot in the back of my mind gives me
a standard to work towards and trying to reach that goal is what keeps me
amped.
Shoutouts Joe Jordanoff: Joe was the first pro rider that ever acknowledged me out
in the surf. I did my first shoot with him out at The Box where i saw the
biggest, heaviest waves i’d ever seen. That shoot got me hooked and it still
gets me amped today. If Joe hadn’t gone out of his way to speak to me and
organise that shoot i know my photography would have progressed a hell of
a lot slower.
