Dark Side Of The Lens

Dark Side Of The Lens is a stunning short film on surf photographer Mickey Smith, not many people know about surf photographers. This gives us a glance into his perspective as he ventures out into freezing Celtic waters in the wilderness of the West Coast of Ireland.

"For everything that brought us to that point on earth and that moment in time. To do something worth remembering with a photograph or a scar"




The music and poetry was created by Mickey himself, it encapsulates himself and what he does down to a tee.

"I wanted a song where the vocals were part of the music, building underneath the images, the instruments fighting with the words."

Allan Wilson was the Director of Photography.
