Photo Journal

Welcome to the Tony Palmer Journal — a behind-the-scenes look at surf photography, ocean imagery, and life on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. From practical surf photography tips and water housing guides to photo journals of early morning sessions at Freshwater Beach, this is where the work gets documented in more detail. Whether you're a fellow surf photographer looking to get started, a surfer curious about what goes into capturing that perfect wave, or just a fan of Australian ocean photography, you'll find honest insights, lessons learned, and plenty of images straight from the water.
