Greg Woodward was a WA surf photographer and writer from 1966 to 1974. Greg photographed in Perth, Mandurah, Cape Naturaliste and the East Coast. He contributed photos and articles to the then brand-new OZ surf magazine called ‘Surf International’.
Greg held an exhibition of his beach life photos in 2017. The exhibition titled ‘The Dazzling Young Riders’ was held at Nyisztor Studios, 391 Canning Highway Melville/Palmyra from 6-21 May 2017.
There were approximately 80 images in the exhibition, about a third of which were guys surfing. The rest were beaches, waves, bikinis, sunbathers and a few portraits.
Greg has kindly allowed Surfing Down South to display his 1960-70s photos.
