4:30am. Most people are dreaming. Josh Burkinshaw is already awake.
“When all the forecast research lines up and conditions are perfect, there’s a rush of anticipation. That moment sets the tone and leaves me on a high for the rest of the day.”
This is the ritual of a man who found his calling in the marriage of ocean and light.
Standing waist-deep in churning South Coast waters. Watching colours explode across the sky.
“My jaw drops, and it feels almost unreal, like I’ve stepped into another world. Then, in what feels like the blink of an eye, it’s gone.”
At the heart of it? He’s chasing moments that will never happen again.
“I might take a thousand shots to get ten I’m truly happy with. But Mother Nature always has the final say.”
When you hang one of Josh’s prints in your home, you’re bringing home a piece of the ocean’s soul. A peaceful moment, frozen in time.
The full story is on our website now. It will change how you see your own 4:30am moments. Thanks for the inspiration Josh.
