Darcie Collington, Ash Keillah Portrait (PEOPLE 2025)

Ash lost his eye in an unfortunate accident. He was faced with a choice of continuing surgery to try and save his eye or forgo surgery, get back in the water and embrace a new chapter. He chose the latter. This shot of the talented surfer was taken at sunset in Bryon in March 2025.
