A relatively paltry 3k grammers follow @alexlaurelphotographie, who might be the best all round surf lensman in Europe, with diverse skills in action, lineup, portrait, lifestyle, etc.
Laurel also turned his hand to moving images recently, with not inconsiderable prowess.
The relatively meek social following might be because Laurel has hardly sold his soul for Instyfame, thus his is a bit half-arsed compared to some of the ten posts a day, twenty hashtags per post, photographers clambering for your half-second attention span and double thumb tap.
During the Euro surf biz money years, it was said Laurel owned more jetskis than some photographers had lenses.
These days he shoots for Hurley, spends time as the official biographer to Michel Bourez and is perhaps the only person left on the internet who will still admit to liking McDonald’s.
