Surf photographer Craig Levers

Cover art for The Stack

Award-winning photographer Craig Levers seems to be living the surfers’ dream: his house overlooks one of New Zealand’s best surf beaches, he edited ‘New Zealand Surfing Magazine’ for eight years and has ridden the waves with the best Kiwis in the business for practically his whole life. Sounds like an idyllic existence – but, as Craig explained to our contributor Clair Urbahn, shooting surfers isn’t always a barrel of laughs.
