During the 2019-2020 season of the World Surf League, I followed and photographed the top three American surfers in the world as they battled for 2 olympic spots on the first ever Olympic team. These photographs were published in the Summer 2020 print issue of Marie Claire Magazine, and accompanied a 21-minute documentary made for Newsy.
