TidalStock Blog: Our Stock Photography News

If you have not looked at Ryan’s portfolio site recently, we have made some changes! Please take a look and let us know what you think as we are very excited about the new site! It is simple, bold, and lets the photography speak for itself.

For those that do not know, Ryan is co-founder and chief photographer/editor of Tidalstock. Before he turned professional photographer, he competed professionally as a pro-longboarder. His passion for the water has led him to become an outstanding surf photographer. With some help from others, he began Tidalstock, a place for media buyers to find unique, bold, and fresh water stock photography.

We have some new changes coming very soon as part of our whole portfolio makeover. Stay Tuned!

Thanks to Mike Artman at Namtra Media for designing the new portfolio site.

For others, it is a good way to get some free photography for your team or family. We are fun to work with and will be as flexible as possible.

Through our stock photography collections you will see various dogs. Most of these dogs are our pets or pets of our friends. Often they help us at the beach while we are surfing or shooting. Some hang out in the pool or others skateboard along with us. It is always fun snapping a few of them wherever we are. Here are a few more or our best friends.

This was a day we went to June Mountain to go snowboarding earlier this winter. The conditions were great. A big change from last year. We are known for our water and ocean images but Tidalstock also has a collection of winter stock photography images available.

If you need your own shot, our chief photographer is available for commission to accompany your exotic trip or to shoot your snowboarding campaign in the Alaskan back country. We can handle most conditions. Send us a note if you want more information.

We are off to Bermuda to capture some more exotic beaches and oceans for our stock photography collection. Here are a few from a recent cruise we took. We will post some of the new shots from Bermuda when we get back!

The last few weeks have created some great wind for southern CA. Here was a great day at C-street in Ventura. Not to many waves that day, but nice solid wind.

Often we get asked what images we like the best. That is always a hard question. We like all our images. Not because they are all great, but we can recall stories about most them. How cold the water was, how hard the conditions were to shoot in, or the blooper that turned out a great shot.

If you had to make us choose here are a few we might put towards the top of the pile. Some because we like the image, others because of the story behind the image. Enjoy!
