"\"&lt;h2&gt;The Photographer Series: Brian Bielmann&lt;\\/h2&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;A man among boys (or you could say he\\u2019s just older than the rest of us), Brian Bielmann gave &lt;em&gt;TransWorld SURF&lt;\\/em&gt; a much-needed dose of credibility when we first began the magazine back in 1999. \\u201cUncle Brian\\u201d as we call him, has been shooting longer than many of us have been alive and his body of work is that of legendary status. He\\u2019s always been a kid at heart and never afraid to experiment with something new and exciting like flash photography, infrared, and back in the day, digital photography. A master storyteller and best-guy-ever to travel with, one of the things we\\u2019ll miss most after this ride is over is having a cold Hinano after a day of shooting with Uncle Brian. Thanks for the memories Brian, we love you!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TransWorld SURF: How long have you been shooting surf photos?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Brian Bielmann: 35 years&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite wave to shoot?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Pipeline.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite subjects to shoot?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Waves from underwater.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite spot to shoot outside of Hawaii?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Tahiti.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What kind of fins do you use when swimming?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Viper.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Current go-to camera?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Canon 1DX with SPL waterhousing.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gnarliest experience while shooting in the water?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Pipeline. I\\u2019ve had about four or five near death mishaps (at least they seemed that way at the time!).&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What photographers work do you admire?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Art Brewer, Howard Schatz, Danny Clinch, and Robbie Crawford.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best advice you could give an up and coming photographer?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;You better be able to get the job done and you better be cool or no one will ever want to work with you.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What else?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thanks &lt;em&gt;Transworld SURF&lt;\\/em&gt; for having faith in me all these years.
