Illy Shoot

Who I am

Surf photographer based in Kuta Lombok, on the spots every day.

Who I am

Behind Illy Shoot, one photographer who has been working in Kuta Lombok for years

Surf is my daily job: every morning and every evening I am on the spots, camera ready, following the swell from Grupuk to Mawi. Between two sessions, I shoot the traditions of the island, its weddings and every match of Marspag Kuta.

What drives me

A good surf photo is not luck. It’s knowing the wave, the surfer and the light — and being there, again and again, until everything lines up.

Based in Kuta

I live and work where the waves are, not a weekend away.

Surf, every day

Morning and evening, on the spot where the swell is best.

Marspag Kuta

Proud sponsor of the team — and photographer of every match.

Sasak culture

The ceremonies and celebrations of the island, shot with respect.
