Interview with Lucia Griggi: Surf & Ocean Photographer

To say that Lucia Griggi has an enviable lifestyle is a bit like saying Jimi Hendrix was ‘good’ at playing the guitar. Lucia’s made her dreams a reality, courtesy of good old hard work and determination. She relocated from Cornwall to California in 2010, but spends most of her year globetrotting – whilst photographing surfing, surf lifestyle and wildlife in some of the most beautiful locations around the world. Her client list includes Roxy, Vans, Red Bull, Land Rover and National Geographic, amongst others. Most impressively however, is the freshness and energy she brings to her photography; she has a genuinely rare talent for emerging the viewer in a picture, as if you were there with her. Read my interview interview with Lucia here, over at Autographer.

Contributing to Miss Ivy’s Journal

I love independently published magazines, so I was really happy to contribute to the launch issue of Miss Ivy’s Journal, which is brought to you by Jo Macaskie of Miss Ivy Events. The magazine is being marketed as ‘Vintage Vision for modern Lives’ and does just that – providing vintage aficionados with a healthy does of fashion, culture and lifestyle pieces. I contributed a guide to the delightful and picturesque market town of Totnes, in Devon, which offers an abundance of delectable vintage shopping opportunities and delved into the wardrobes of The Vintage Cream’s Emma Quick, who has a eclectic era-mixing style and delicious dress collection… To find out more, visit the magazine’s Facebook page here.
