PORTFOLIO
Biography
Internationally published surfing photographer, Wendy Mitchell, has been capturing local surfers in Torquay since the early seventies.
Many of her sought after surfing photos have been published in Tracks, Surfing World, Back Door, windsurfing magazines and various other magazines here and overseas.
Wendy has covered most of the Bells Beach contests including 1981, famously known for its “Big Saturday”, the biggest swell and waves ever recorded at an Easter Bells Contest won by Simon Anderson, Australia surfer.
The 1981 photos are now included at the Surfcoast Surfing Museum in Torquay in a Display celebrating the Rip Curl bells over its 30 plus years.
Wendy decided in 2002 that her work in the surfing industry should take another direction and, using the skills developed in capturing surf action, Wendy developed a new business venture in photography.
In the following year, “Wendy Mitchell Photography” began to combine her lifelong love of animals and passion for capturing the essence of a subject on film. She is now renowned for her patience in waiting for that “precise moment”, capturing special moments of emotion. Her Pet photography ranges from mobile studio portraiture to field work covering shows and events. Wendy enjoys photographing dogs thrilling crowds at agility competitions and capturing their joy as they speed through the courses.
Wendy is the official photographer for NADAC Australia (North American Dog Agility Council). Her work has been published in books and magazines around the world and she has displayed her work at many exhibitions. Wendy Mitchell photography has featured on Channel 9’s “Post Cards”.
