Billabong Women’s A/DIV: Alaska

A cold water surf project in Alaska with Anna Gudauskas and Caley Vanular, supported by the Billabong Women’s Adventure Division. The shoot focused on wetsuits, outerwear, and lifestyle imagery, captured in real conditions, in and out of the water, with an emphasis on function and movement.

The project took place aboard the Milo Surf Boat with Alaska Surf Guides, allowing access to remote breaks and a small working crew. Fog, cool temperatures, and modest surf shaped a grounded, location driven set of images built around utility, environment, and cold water experience.
