Trent Mitchell Photog Profile

Lives I moved from Mona Vale in Sydney to the Gold Coast 5 years ago. Miami is my new home now.
Years Shooting Ages, 10yrs nearly ha. But seriously shooting for say 4yrs, before that i was shooting say 10-20 rolls a year. Just experimenting with films and shooting empties. Heaps of personal work. Still some of my favorite stuff no one has seen yet :)
Favorite rider/s to to work with Mitch Rawlins 100% Its all most a fool proof shoot. Every time I shoot him I get a shot run. Its silly really. He is such and amazing rider with a powerfully photogenic style. And then I like chillin, traveling and shooting with a heap of diff guys too, the sports filled with so many good people its too hard to separate them. I definitely like people who just don’t just talk about bodyboarding all the time too. Man its a great sport but shit it can get boring just listening to people say the same shit over and over … fuck some people just take our blessed lives way too fucken seriously … it gets me goin a bit, so yeah I like shooting with people who tear the fuck out whatever is thrown at them but when they get back on land, dont really give a fuck about the hype. I like those people, lots and lots. I actually admire those riders more than they know.
Favorite location to Shoot I could shoot waves around esperence every day until i died. Its a Photogenic dreamland. I don’t think the photographic potential down there has been mastered yet. People arn’t down there enough to get the special moments that are undoubtably happening. Even right now i bet u could take an amazing picture as you are reading this. Its mental. I get anxious thinking about it.
Favourite Shot My cover of riptide of me in a tube at my fave place hahahaha.
Tools of the trade Nikon and Dave Kelly housings.
Insirations I really dont know
