"Without water there would be no life"

 

Our goal is simple, bring our clients the very best Ocean, Water, and Life images from the view of the people living in the lifestyle and sports.  We don't provide cookie cutter images or goofy stylized models.  Our images are unique, different, and come from a passion you can only have growing up surfing from the day you could walk. 

Sure there are many choices out there for stock photography ranging in all prices, but can you be assured the image you are buying is not from a photographer who spent five minutes on the topic edited by a person that lives nowhere by water?  Why does it matter?  Because it is transparent to someone, and all it takes is that someone to kill a trend.  With the extreme cost of advertising, is it really worth saving a few bucks on an image?  

Our Stock Photography services are the foundation of our company.  We provide the highest quality images focusing on Ocean and Water lifestyles.  This can be anything from Surfing to Snowboarding and not only include the extreme aspect of the sports involved, but also the lifestyle, the scenic, and the experience.  We follow a very strict editing process to weed out any image that does not meet our quality standards in terms of the physical quality of the image and the message the images says.

The founders of Tidalstock have been involved in extreme sports from the moment they could walk.  One founder was pro-windsurfer and the other was pro-longboarder, competing against the worlds best athletes all accross the world.  They have rafted the Grand Canyon, surfed reefs in the middle of the ocean, and jumped out of helicpoters on the highes peaks.  Their experience is what makes the images and photographers of Tidalstock so special and different from other stock photography sites.

You can be assured your image will convey your message.     

 

 

As a premier stock photography company, we understand that in many cases you will need images that feature a certain product or athlete.  We provide commercial services to create that image. 

We can travel and shoot the most exotic locations or keep our gear in the studio.  We not only understand the elements of extreme sport shooting, we are involved with them on a daily basis.  You can trust us to capture the right moment.

In our extreme sport commercial shoots, we can also provide location advice, technical setup, the right equipment to shoot the location, and photographers not afraid of extreme elements. 

Depending on availability or our contracted photographers, if you see a style of image that you like on our site, we can contract that specific photographer to shoot your commercial campaign.

With Tidalstock, we offer flexibility, variety, and experience for your commercial shoots.

 

 

 

New for 2009, is our extreme sports consulting services for film and television.  Day after day, we see the same mistakes happening in film and television that could easily be fixed.  We see the "cool" skateboarder with a pink board, or the surfer paddling out by a beach with a pier and then no pier in the background from the water.  These are small examples of mistakes made everyday in film and television.

These mistakes may seem minor, but any successful project must feel real, especially if the main character is portraying a certain lifestyle.  More importantly your audience tends to focus on every mistake then the quality of the show or movie.  

Tidalstock can help build you the right image for any extreme sport location or character.  We have hundreds of contacts in many different sports that allow us to stay current on fashion, trends, tricks, and locations.  We can help you with location selection, film review, clothing, set props, body language, finding a current pro for stunts, or matching current trends.  We will build the correct image so that the viewers focus on the actor, show, or movie, not the dated snowboard that no pro-rider would ever have.
