About Laurent
Laurent Masurel is a French surf, water and adventure photographer based in Boucau, southwest France. With more than 23 years of professional experience, he has completed over 200 international surf trips and photographic assignments across four continents.
A former competitive bodysurfer, Laurent combines extensive ocean knowledge with an instinctive understanding of waves, positioning and timing. He is particularly recognised for his watershots, capturing surfing, bodyboarding, bodysurfing and the raw movement of the ocean from within the breaking wave.
Laurent’s work extends beyond competition photography into travel reportage and fine-art imagery. His photographs document not only world-class surfing, but also the landscapes, communities and cultures encountered while searching for waves. His travels have taken him throughout Hawai‘i, Indonesia, the Maldives, French Polynesia, Iceland, Norway, the Philippines and many other remote destinations.
An official World Surf League photographer, Laurent has worked with leading surf brands including Patagonia, Rip Curl, Quiksilver, Billabong and Tribord. His work spans surf competitions, commercial campaigns, editorial assignments, travel photography and fine-art studies of waves, coastlines and underwater environments.
