Russell Ord must have one of the best jobs in certainly one of the most beautiful parts of the world; south west Australia. But it started due to what I often term as a happy accident. An oxymoron for sure you might suggest, but he injured himself doing what he loved, surfing, which essentially took him out of the sport at any reasonable competitive level. This wasn’t to stop him. He picked up a camera. He started to shoot and he's now considered one of the world's best surf photographers.
