  • In this film we dive deep into the life of big wave surf photographer Dom Mosqueira. Spending his youth as a vagabond Dom sailed his way to Tahiti and never left. Living in proximity to one of the worlds biggest and most dangerous waves, Dom Mosqueira risks life and limb in pursuit of the perfect photograph of world class surfers riding the worlds most dangerous wave, Teahupo'o. Surf photography perfected through the lens of Dom Mosqueira.
    He was born in Mexico, schooled in Canada, worked for Richard Branson in the British Virgin Islands and discovered his new home, Tahiti, while sailing around French Polynesia - Dom Mosqueira might just be the most interesting photographer in the world. You’ve seen his work on the cover of SURFING and beyond, most often from the water at Teahupo’o.
    We have always been fascinated with people who followed their passions, lived with an almost singular focus, and done so successfully. Living the type of lives that don’t fit into our societal norms. The lives most people dream of. The ones that leave us wondering how these people pull it off? What did they do differently that not only allowed them to pursue their passions, but were actually able to do so with real success. Leading self sufficient, thriving lives in high risk, unconventional ways.
    We spend our days seeking out these individuals and telling their stories through our short films. We have focused on artists, athletes, and adventurers that threw caution to the wind, laid it all on the line, and actually pulled it off!
    Find out what makes these high performing individuals tick. Dive into the minds of some of our generations most fascinating humans through cinematic adventures told through our lens. We will be releasing teasers content and behind the scenes stories to go along with and build up to the release of the actual short films. We will be releasing new content across our social channels daily and new posts here bi weekly. So if you like what you see, subscribe and give us a follow so you don’t miss anything. In the meantime, buckle up, cause it’s gonna be a wild ride

    I've traveled the world with Dom but my most favorite trips are the ones where I am able to join him at Teahupo’o! Dom is one with the water and you won't understand that unless you witness it in person. He's genuine, a jokester with an infectious laugh. I miss him and I miss Teahupo’o! Thanks for such a great piece on my buddy Dom Dom!

    Wonderful. Teahupoo is beautiful and has the most beautiful and scary waves when they are big. The guy on the speedboat smoking one haha. And what an image the guy must have had in the last wave. He looking at the top and inside the wave... you don't see any surfer admiring this beauty above his head. Congratulations on the beautiful work.

    So much respect. No board, no floatation, and heavy camera in tow. i’ve only lost my board a few times in 20+ years of surfing, and each time was the most scared i’ve ever been in the water. I can’t imagine doing what he does. Fins or not, you have to be in some serious shape.

    Lived in Tahiti for 25 yrs. and the worst case scenario he described can happen at any of the reef passes there when the swell is pumping - pure, absolute TERROR. Easily some of the best, craziest, baddest locals on the planet hands down when the ocean gets angry.
