Description

Prolific surf photographer Todd Glaser joins us in our latest episode of The Lineup. Renowned for his stunning oceanic imagery over the past two decades, Todd dives deep into his latest book, Kelly Slater: A Life of Waves. In conversation with Dave, Todd shares the journey of curating some of the most iconic images captured over fourteen years spent on the road with surfing legend Kelly Slater. He reveals his creative process for capturing those perfect shots and discusses the influences of iconic photographers like Steve Sherman and Danny Clinch, exploring how their techniques shape his work both in and out of the water. Todd also reflects on his beginnings as a competitive bodyboarder and how those early experiences ignited his passion for ocean photography, deepening his understanding of swells and bathymetry. He recounts his time at the Brooks Institute, where he connected with fellow creatives while balancing his love for travel and discovery with academic success. As he looks ahead post-book release, Todd teases an exciting potential documentary project and shares his newfound joy in running. He answers your listener questions, including one from Free Nationals bassist and friend of the pod, Kelsey González, reveals the winner of their Pipeline fantasy surfer league, and takes on the Lightning Round!
