Bio

Box of Light is a weekly dose of stoke from the surf lifestyle and culture of New Zealand’s beaches, served in photography.

This photoblog is spearheaded by a series of stunning images captured by photographer Derek Morrison. Each week he climbs out of bed early and photographs the surf and beaches around New Zealand and the people that play in them. This weekly report is then emailed every Tuesday directly to Box of Light’s subscribers for them to enjoy at their morning smoko break.

Box of Light’s weekly photo report is free! To sign-up just add your email address over at www.boxoflight.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who shoots all the photos?
A: Box of Light is produced each week by photographer Derek Morrison.

Q: What cameras do you use?
A: Derek shoots on Canon cameras and lenses, primarily with Canon Eos 5D MkIV and 5DSR bodies and L-series lenses ranging from 14mm through to 400mm – predominantly f/2.8s.

Q: How are the water photos made?
A: Derek uses an Aquatech water housing for his Canon Eos 5DMkIV and 5DSR. This gives him nearly complete control of the camera's functions. He uses a series of ports to suit a range of lenses for different effects and situations. He swims with the camera using short fins for quick changes in direction and to help him get into the right position, which is usually right under the lip.
