Chris Miranda Media

Surf Photography Services

I offer professional surf photography and videography built around real moments in the ocean and on shore. Whether you are chasing performance shots, lifestyle pics, or lasting family memories, every session is captured with your intention.

I shoot from the beach using long range telephoto lenses, in the water with a dedicated surf housing, and from the air with drone footage, each allowing for dynamic perspectives that showcase both the surfer and the setting.

Beyond action, I also create professional candid family photos and posed portraits, ensuring that each shoot reflects your style while staying natural and authentic. From individual surfers to families and brands, every project is approached with a balance of technical precision and storytelling. If you have a project in mind, Id love to collaborate with you to make it turn into a long lasting memory that you can share with the world.

How it works

Reserve your Spot

We know locking in a single day for a shoot can be unpredictable, especially with ocean conditions. To help with this, we offer flexible scheduling. A $99 deposit secures priority placement on our calendar, allowing you to select a 1-4 week window for your session.

Watch the Forcast

We stay in close communication as conditions and your schedule come into focus, gradually narrowing the shoot window as the forecast becomes clearer. Ideally, the time and location are confirmed the day before the session.

Day of the Shoot

We'll meet on the beach and capture your session. Edited photos are delivered within 24 hours. Files are shared via WeTransfer, making it easy to download and acccess them on any device.

Rates

Photos from land $200/hr

Our most popular option. Shooting from land guarantees more shots. We use a 200-600mm telephoto lens and will be able to reach you at any distance at most common surf breaks. This usually ends up with hundreds of photos and we will capture pre game candid shots to complete the shoot.

Watershots $300/hr

Capture your action with a perspective that only shooting in the water can provide. These sessions require more specialized gear and are subject to varying conditions, weather, surf size, and accessability. This perspective can provide both still photos or video depending on your project.

Drone Video $250/hr

Drone footage offers a completely different angle from above. The story line from a drone is like none other. With this package we can include prep video footage to make your story come to life.

To help you plan and coordinate

- All rates are per person, with a 1-hour minimum. If we go over the hour, an additional hour will be charged at 50%.

- Each additional surfer is 50%

Our Daily Galleries

When we’re not servicing clients, we’re out shooting a variety of breaks and photographing everyone in the lineup. If you met us on the beach or heard we were shooting, your photos were most likely shared through our Instagram.

We currently post our surf photos on Instagram @808surfboys, where you can view recent sessions and highlights. If you see a photo of yourself or want to check if we captured you, send us a message with the date and location and we’ll help you out.

Images shared on Instagram are optimized for web viewing. If you’re interested in high-resolution files, custom edits, or full-resolution JPEGs or RAW files, shoot us a message and we’ll make it happen.

Meet your Photographer

My name is Chris and I have always had a passion for photography, and the ocean. What started as a hobby has turned into so much more. My love for capturing special moments in time, and having the ability to be able to share them with others is the most gratifying thing I can do. Seeing the joy on my clients' face after they get their work, or seeing them post it online and talk about how awesome their sessions were, makes it all worth it. Give me a call, or shoot me a text, and lets talk about what project you have in mind and how we can work together to make it come to life.
