FROM THE WATER

From the 2ft waves here in Encinitas to 50ft Mavericks I can shoot from the water in all types of conditions.

VIDEO & FILM DIRECTION

A passion of mine is working behind or on the side of the camera as its rolling - ACTION!

FROM THE LAND

It's all about angles and the right choice of lens can make or break the shot real fast.

FASHION

From the top surf brands here in SoCal to the fancy ones in New York and Italy - my job is still the same!

WAVES

It sure helps to be a surfer when your shooting anything surf related - we see things most people don't.

ACTION

Anything that goes fast I love - bring it on, the faster the better.

MOTO

Maybe it's a guy thing - loud and in the dirt, I love it.

Journalism

Posed photos are one thing, but the ones that aren't posed are my favorites.

PRODUCT

It looks easy to shoot these, but you have to think outside the box a little.

Jack English For Hire

For more than three decades, I have traveled the world photographing surfing, working alongside some of the greatest surfers, brands, magazines, and publications in the industry. My photography has taken me from the legendary waves of Hawaii and the rugged coastlines of Ireland to Barbados, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Florida, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain, Portugal, and countless other surf destinations. I have had the opportunity to photograph many of the world's top professional surfers, including Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, Tom Curren, Taj Burrow, Luke Egan, Mick Fanning, Dane Reynolds, Peter Mel, John John Florence, Kolohe Andino, and many more.

My photography is about more than simply capturing a surfer riding a wave. I look for the entire story—the power and beauty of the ocean, the character of a location, the people, the travel, the anticipation, and those unpredictable moments that happen both in and out of the water. From powerful barrels and big-wave sessions to intimate portraits, water photography, lifestyle, landscapes, and behind-the-scenes imagery, I bring an authentic, documentary-driven perspective shaped by decades of experience in the surf world.

My photography services are available for commission worldwide. I work with surf and lifestyle brands, advertising agencies, magazines, publications, filmmakers, tourism destinations, and private clients looking for distinctive, authentic imagery. Whether you need a complete international campaign, a destination-based assignment, professional surfer coverage, water photography, editorial storytelling, or a collection of images that captures the spirit of a brand, I bring the experience, access, and creative vision to produce photography with a genuine connection to surfing and its culture.

From the lineup to the shoreline and everything in between, I am available for commissioned photography assignments worldwide.
