Grant Morris. Vissla Surf Photographer, being selfless, teaching Sydney siders and a mysterious shark.

Chasing Clarity

At 6'3, 120kg Grant Morris, The Aqua Zulu takes up a large portion of the pre-dawn light as he approaches my borrowed NSW-plated car..."Just fit it in there" he says sounding like a bigger version of Tony Greg, his thick South African accent breaking the dark 5 am silence. I flew in the day before and stayed on the other side of the bridge, an hour away. I left at 4 am, drove for the first time on Sydney streets and had already, in my short stay managed to piss two local drivers off as I crossed the iconic Sydney Harbour. They weren't shy of blasting their horns. I guess it's a way of communicating in the big city, it must be, because everyone does it....often for no reason. I figured they must have heard this show and were saying hello. I waved.

This conversation takes place overlooking one of Grant's favourite places to shoot mini's (mini waves) and we discuss all things water photography, surf photography and ocean imagery. Grant left a troubled South Africa with nothing but a suitcase and a dream of a better life. Today, 10 years on, the Aqua Zulu is making others' lives better through the act of teaching.

Listen in again as another artist chases his clarity and drops some knowledge bombs for you to decipher.
