In the early 2000s, he shifted his focus to photography and quickly gained recognition for his intense, dramatic shots of big-wave surfing and ocean landscapes. ? His fearless pursuit of the perfect shot has taken him to the most treacherous and awe-inspiring locations, resulting in iconic images featured in esteemed publications like The Surfer's Journal, Tracks, and Australian Surfing Life.Ord's dedication to his craft is evident in his willingness to take risks, often placing himself in perilous situations to capture the raw power and beauty of the ocean. His remarkable documentation of 'The Right,' a violent twist of the Indian Ocean, became the centerpiece of his acclaimed documentary, 'One Shot.'
Beyond his photography, Russell Ord is deeply committed to giving back to the community. He works with organizations like the Surfrider Foundation and serves as an ambassador for SurfAid, using his influence to improve the health and well-being of remote surfing communities.
