Hi, I am aido
 
Raised on the Sunshine Coast, I grew up surrounded by the ocean and an early love for surf culture, light, and being creative, a drive that fuels everything I do. While the local waves left much to be desired, that challenge pushed me to explore further, saving every dollar for my first trip around Australia and then throughout Indonesia. That journey lit a fire in me, and I became addicted to my new dream of chasing swells, new cultures, and unforgettable moments across the globe.
Today, I specialise in high-quality surf and lifestyle photography and cinematography, creating work that blends authenticity with cinematic precision with a creative twist. Using professional-grade land, water, and aerial equipment, I capture every angle of an experience — from the intensity of a lineup, to the energy on the beach, to sweeping perspectives of any coastline. My work extends beyond just surf: it’s about people, place, and the lifestyle that connects them. Honouring a culture that surrounds a place and capturing it in a way that provokes a feeling anytime a shot is taken.
Through my photography, film, and carefully curated packages, I help individuals, brands, and companies tell their stories with honesty, creativity, and visual impact. Whether it’s documenting a surf adventure, producing lifestyle content, or creating cinematic films, my goal is always the same: to preserve the beauty of fleeting moments and bring them to life in a way that feels timeless.
Shooting 35mm film is also one of my passions, allowing me to capture moments with a timeless texture, depth, and authenticity that digital formats can rarely replicate. I strive to preserve the essence of each experience — the laughter shared with friends, the thrill of adventure, the quiet beauty found in fleeting moments — and translate them into imagery and films that feel alive and enduring whilst keeping it core.
Every frame is crafted with care, aiming to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary memories that remain vivid long after the a moment has passed, celebrating both the grandeur of travel and the subtle poetry of everyday life.
"Step into the unknown, embrace the journey, and make every moment a memory worth keeping"
