Quiksilver and Kelly Slater share a legacy that has shaped the history of surfing. Commissioned by Quiksilver, the task was capturing an intimate portrait series of Kelly Slater and  documenting the journey from Melbourne to the Quiksilver Pro aboard a Jetstar flight.

Shot with a ring flash at very close range, the final portrait reveals every detail, pore, eyelash, and the quiet intensity behind his gaze. Alongside Kelly, the entire Quiksilver team was on board. Over the course of the tour, images werecaptured and collated their headshots into a unified visual piece for the brand.
