About TheCollective Community
Founded by Stuart Gibson, a surf photographer from Tasmania, Australia in 2009. Stuart is a well-known surf photographer who has had work published in magazines and galleries the world over.

TheCollective is an online community of local Tasmanian and Australian surf photographers who shoot the local surf sessions on a regular basis. We aim to shoot as many local surf sessions and make these images available to the public via our online store. Too often the work of many photographers is left on the cutting room floor, with the magazines handpicking only a small selection of images from what is often an amazing collection. TheCollective’s goal is to bring these unpublished images back for your enjoyment.

TheCollective will feature a select group of contributing photographers that will bring their own style to the table and blow a breath of fresh air on the ever changing industry. The aim is to publish images each day from all four corners of the globe, for as we all know, there’s always waves rolling down a point or hitting a sandbank somewhere on this planet! So please bookmark TheCollective and check back daily for your dose of inspiration.

Becoming a Contributor
TheCollective is a fantastic place to showcase your unseen images, or to launch yourself into the world of surf photography. Whilst we are always looking for new imagery and fresh talent, we cannot accept images from everyone in the interests of maintaining a high calibre of imagery.
