-JOSH KIMBALL PHOTOGRAPHY-

Josh's interest in photography began seven years ago with a relatively cheap camera and a completely open mind. After his first photos were published four years ago, what began as a hobby soon became a full-time career path. Combined with a talent for writing, the 28 year old has since had hundreds of photos and dozens of articles published in magazines including THE SURFERS PATH, THE SURFERS JOURNAL, SURFER, SURFING, TRANSWORLD SURF, and WATER, and many of his images have also appeared in other national and international magazines, books, catalogs, calendars and websites.

One year after graduating from U.C. Santa Barbara in 2001, Kimball landed an internship at SURFER magazine, where he regularly interacted with many of the finest lensmen and writers in the business. Around this time, Josh began to develop his unique photography style, focusing on many of the more overlooked facets of ocean and coastal photography. While boasting a full arsenal of gear primarily for shooting surf-action, Josh's favorite subjects to shoot are empty waves and coastal scenics.

An avid traveler, Kimball has surfed and photographed many locations worldwide, including New Zealand, Australia, France, Hawaii, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, South Africa, and Peru. He currently resides in Santa Barbara, California.
