Abandoning still photography for commercial cinematography in the late seventies and into the 80’s and 90’s made Merkel one of the most financially successful shooters of his peer group. Big Wednesday, Endless Summer II and countless other films have benefited from Dan’s keen eye and unwavering drive to be the best he can be.
Dan Merkel has picked up the still camera again and his images can be seen in most all major surf publications as well as industry advertising campaigns.

Dave has traveled to many countries for commercial and editorial shoots including Hawaii, Indonesia, Chile, Philippines, Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Marshall Islands, Mexico, Tonga, Fiji and South Africa. He has shot covers for magazines from Australia, New Zealand, Spain, UK and the USA, including the 2005 cover of the highly prestigious US Surfer Photo Annual. Dave also covered the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, in Indonesia, in words and photos for Tracks, an unforgettable experience.
For the past 2 years Dave has concentrated on “splitshots”, also known as “over and under” photographs, which feature a simultaneous dual point of view, both above and below the surface of the water. Dave designs and constructs his own waterproof camera housings, purpose built to implement his passion for capturing and conveying this amphibious vision. The application of his original techniques in photographing “bisected”, or cross sectional, views of breaking ocean waves is uniquely intimate, creating a never before seen, dual portal into these spectacular yet ephemeral natural forms. No digital manipulation or Photoshop treachery is used, the images are all captured as is, in camera.
Dave is 45 and still lives at Blueys Beach with his fiance, Sam, and their 3 dogs. Some of his work takes place right outside his back door at Blueys or other local beaches, as the amazing water clarity and spectacular white sand in the area lend themselves perfectly to the continuing exploration of his theme.
