My favorite type of Blue Wave š
In honor of @theillumeawards announcing the winner of the surf photo, hereās all of my submissions of blue waves.
Picking photos for a contest is so tricky because you have this tug and pull of what do I like vs. what do I think the judges will like and what will really POP and catch their attention as they go through hundreds, if not thousands of photos. I think contests can be tricky because itās so subjective and maybe your image didnāt get the nod because the judge was low on coffee. You never know, but the important thing is that I love how theyāre a great excuse to get your best work together in your portfolio and have it organized.
Iām notoriously bad at not sharing my best work and am stoked to have it all together like this. Here are just a few photos I edited to submit.
Two more years until the next Illume Awards, letās see what I can capture between now and then š¬

Perfect size for dancing on the board in Waikiki.
A sunny day with @nique_miller at Queens is guaranteed going to mean Iāll walk away with at least a few incredible photos.
The first shot might be my all time favorite Iāve ever taken in Waikiki though! Just a split second on the nose, but times and lined up perfectly.
What made this day even better is that all of these shots were really just a bonus! I was making a complete beginners guide on how to photograph Queens in the water. The start of a series where I teach the fundamentals to get in to water photography/videography safely.
Coming from Ohio to Hawaiāi, 12 years ago I had to learn everything about the ocean and shooting in the water as an adult. This was before YouTube and a ton of trial and error went in to it. People werenāt overly friendly and willing to help and I think thatās the wrong way to look at surf photography. To me, it need to be more preventative to avoid rookie mistakes like understanding lineups, current and the safest way to get in and out. I hope this series sets a precedent for baseline knowledge that helps everyone in the community.
Check out the video on my channel, itās live now (:
& in the spirit of helping, I made the preset I edited these photos with available for free. All you have to do is comment WAIKIKI and Iāll DM it to you.

Happy Halloween!!
I saw @johnny_the_ripper out surfing in a cowboy hat last night and it reminded me of this epic shoot we did five years ago now.
Back in 2021, pre-AI doing my best with the photoshop to give these an out of this world feeling.
The inspiration behind this was the crypto boom and race to space with Space X and Jeff Bezos at the time.
If you love them, I still have some prints available on my website www.connortrimble.com but Iām thinking itās time we run it back and get some fresh content!
& shout out to @tommypierucki for the shot of Johnny and I. So stoked about it because I have so many photos of a Johnny over the past 10+ years, but none with him in the water until now.

Vlog action in Waikiki with @kai_lenny & @jackfromtown !!!
So cool seeing these guys rip and get barreled on longboards. Great vibes all around and am especially stoked over the double angle with @ryanjohnson.mov
Itās been fun working with Kai trying to find help him with his videos especially because you just never know what heās going to do on the board! Is he going to hang ten, helicopter, ride switch, do a back flip, ride the surf mat or what!? Doesnāt matter what heās riding, heās sending it and thatās been awesome to capture and Iām trying to show a bit more of the infectious energy and good vibes Iāve known him for off camera. #surfing #surf #kailenny #waikiki #hawaii

Getting engaged fully took us back through memory lane.
Hereās a collection of a few of our favorite moments. A true millennial postā¦. A digital scrap book if you will haha!
Luckily we had a @gopro 3 with no screen with us on our first date to capture it which is so cool looking back on.
We met on my recruiting trip to @hawaii_swimdive and then a couple of years later ended up bonding over our shared love for dogs at a swim house party which has now led us to having Leo (our dog) together!
The first few years of our relationship felt like non stop island adventures and trying to figure out how to use a camera. It was before all of these YouTube tutorials existed, Instagram photos were squares and nobody shared their process + pre-geotagging ao we just had to get out there, send it and hope for the best! So many shenanigans and learned so much with a lot of great memories during this era.
After college we decided to backpack Europe for nearly 3 months and it was the best worst decision we ever made. So poor and so difficult with the ups and downs of traveling sick + poor, but was extremely eye opening and a truly life changing experience. Especially that pizza in Pomepei that we still dream about.
When we talk about our best day ever, we often bring up this day in Zermatt where we unintentionally bar crawled down the mountain with the most epic views ever and the best vibes, thereās something so much fun about an unplanned spontaneous adventure day because you just take it for what it is vs. having high expectations and this day was top tier vibes.
The animals that changed our lives for the best. We only got Leo because he and I have the same birthday and @taylorditty said it was a sign, because I was definitely not ready for that responsibility. I was trying to Peter Pan and spend my summers surfing in Bali, but I donāt regret Leo at all and am so happy we got him!
The rest are a collection of misc. moments from the world like swimming with whale sharks, humpbacks, orcas and traveling all over the world! So many epic adventures and am excited for many more to come š«¶š¼

Weāre getting married. š¤
I wanted to make Taylorās fairytale dreams come true on her dream trip to the South of France, and I couldnāt have imagined a more perfect place to ask her to marry me than Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.
Iād put a lot of thought into pulling the morning together, from sneaking the ring in my pants, to hiring a photographer on the other side of the world and there only being one shoot/proposal allowed on property per day, shakily putting my camera down and recording video to try and line up perfectly to trying to remember to put the correct knee down. Even after all of these years I was still so nervous. Once she said yes, I could finally stop worrying about the plan and just enjoy it with her. We spent the rest of the morning walking around the gardens, taking photos and soaking it all in. We kept it a secret for a bit to just enjoy some champagne and chill for the remaining few days of the trip/
The ring became a little collection of pieces of us which was really fun to make for @taylorditty !
WeI went ring shopping together in HawaiŹ»i, and on the drive home she mentioned wanting some kind of water element incorporated into it. The āCā in my signature has always looked like a wave, and it ended up blending perfectly into the floral engraving she already loved.
Inside, I had it engraved with āI love you furever and everā an inside joke going all the way back to the beginning of our relationship, when Taylor told me we could never get married because I wasnāt a cat guy.
Jokeās on her. See slide 20. š
And then thereās one detail that is hilarious to me. Our cat is named Azure, which is blue in French and inspired by the CĆ“te dāAzur because of the color of her eyes, the same place where, all these years later, we ended up getting engaged. We kept joking the whole trip how much we loved the Cote DāAzuzu haha.
There were a lot of little details and Easter eggs I wanted to work into the day and the ring, but ultimately I just wanted to make the whole thing feel like Taylor.
Couldnāt have dreamt up a better place, trip, or person to start this next chapter with. š¤

A DREAM COME TRUE š So excited to cross this off the bucket list and see Episode 51 of Kilauea!
You know that genuine stoked feeling you feel as a kid seeing something for the first time, thatās the feeling today 100%!!!
Canāt believe how lucky I got being here for a work trip and I start documenting @23toptraining world record attempt tonight at midnight, but the volcano erupted perfectly in a time for us to go experience it!
Iāve almost pulled the trigger so many times on flying to see it, but they donāt last long and are easy to miss. Todayās only lasted 8 hours and I just happened to be here, so I am just grateful it lined up.
The power, the rumbling sound, colors and ambiance of Pele were unbelievable. Lava fountains reaching 950 ft. And 6.6 billion cubic yards of lava made its way to the crater floor.
An unforgettable experience and going right after it for another epic adventure tonight!

One of my favorite shoots from this past year working for @marriottbonvoy x @jacob.media non stop in the water!
Iāve been pulling inspo for upcoming shoots although AI has gotten better, thereās so much slop out there. Itās crazy over on Pinterest and Google Images where I used to pull mood board frames from. It feels like itās 80% generated images.
At the end of the day, you canāt beat a great photo. One that captures the energy, environment and conveys a feeling. Great, authentic photography is still the cornerstone for creative.
It genuinely warms my heart knowing Iām not alone in this feeling.
But it had me thinking back to this shoot where I felt like the imagery really conveyed the feeling & it definitely helps that I was with the best crew @nainoalanger @moliverallen @jacob @tantago @alydemo @seanvaldivieso @londongirlindc šš¼

Your reminder to go outside and touch some grass or the water š¤š½
Fun morning with friends! Edited using my Lightroom presets Iāll be launching soon.
But if youāre reading this, youāre a real one and I wanted to give you a sneak peak at the presets for free! Just comment the word āWaikikiā & Iāll send it over š¤š½

A moment to take it all in.
*NOT AI
Trying to capture a new perspective of something Iāve seen probably over 100x. Waikiki fireworks from the surf under a full moon.
I knew this was toward the end of the firework show and the waves werenāt cooperating with us lining up a really good surf shot with the fireworks behind. @naiwatelson had just fallen right in front of me and I asked him to just sit on his board and take it in and it ended up being my favorite shot of the night!
So epic and canāt wait to shoot it again after having learned a lot from the experience. I made a raw YouTube video from the session thatās super mellow and chill if you want to check it out.
Nothing breaks my heart more than having footage sit on a drive after putting to much time and effort in to capture it so Iām trying this format out to see if itās worth making more little vlogs like this that are really simple and in chronological order. Let me know if you like this style and if itās worth keeping them up! š¤š½

Surfing under the full moon & Friday night fireworks in Waikiki, Hawaiāi.
Every Friday thereās fireworks here and I got the call from @malae_mcelheny & @jackfromtown that they were surfing it because good 2-3 ft. swell + full moon + fireworks + everyone being available donāt line up often so we sent it!
Mainly I just shot video because itās easier to let in more light filming vs. shooting stills, but for the few minutes I flipped to stills I still canāt believe I lined this first shot up.
Iām blown away at how bright the moon was this evening was stoked over lining up with Jack.
These are the nights I usually donāt do much with the footage or maybe Iāll cut 2-3 reels from it and āmaybeā post one of them. So I decided to make more of a RAW YouTube video from it thatās just a chronological recap of the evening session.
Itās a little different style than Iāve ever tried before so let me know if you dig it. For me, it feels more like a digital diary of footage from a cool evening linking up with friends in the water.
Also for my video people out there, this is my first full video transitioning from Premiere to Davinci. If you made the switch and have any advice on what helped you the most, Iād be stoked to hear in the comments.
& donāt forget to check out the YouTube video š¤š½

Late season bump in swell gave @casualluke and I a chance to link up for @vaeradventure watches.
The amount of shoots Iāve done for surf brands in crappy waves with some of the best surfers on the planet is agonizing. It sucks not being able to highlight surfers in the best conditions, so I was really excited that we could get just a hand full of Hero shots in proper waves this morning highlighting Luke doing what he does best.
Full YouTube BTS video is up now on my channel if you want to check it out š¤š½ some good nuggets of information in there especially if youāre a surf photographer/videographer.
