Sisters of the Sea: portraits of female surfers
The primary goal of this project is to focus on a range of women of all ages and skill levels who love the sea and have a passion for surfing. It also aims to offer them the opportunity to express themselves in a predominantly male-dominated sport. This photographic project is set in South Devon and Cornwall, and 12 women were photographed and then were asked to write down their thoughts about the sport, which offered them the opportunity to speak with a direct and unfiltered voice.
The ages of the women range are between 19 and 77 and while their reasons for surfing vary, so do the emotions

Biography
Hi, my name is Cosimo Campagna, and I am an Italian student in my second year of a photography degree course at the University of Plymouth in the UK.
I moved to the UK 10 years ago. I first got into photography by travelling the world as a hobby, realising that it was something that I wanted to carry on as a professional. I first started photographing landscapes, but thanks to my university course, I opened my mind to the differences in photography styles, incorporating them with a new way of seeing the world and trying to explore what is around me from different perspectives.
