Jay Watson Photography

Drift Surfing ran a nice editorial piece on surfboard shaper Manuel Caro over here. Manuel’s workspace is located at Moonlight Glassing which is just outside Encinitas, CA.  Andrew Smith did the interview for Drift and the very well rounded Ed Fladung busted out his art direction skills and classy shots of Manuel’s shaping bay. Below are some of my portrait shots and outakes from the shoot.

The last image is a before and after set showing my post production work. You can see the difference between a processed RAW file using Adobe Lightroom and compare it to the final retouched version using Adobe PhotoShop. These portraits are also part of a much larger series I am working on. I just need an extra 16 hours to finish the PhotoShop work!
