Master of the craft: Ron Stoner
Sadly Ron’s personal life eventually overtook his career. The story goes that he was a schizophrenic and battled with a drug problem too. He mysteriously disappeared in the early 70s, filed as a ‘missing person’ in 1977 and declared dead in 1996.
Ron Stoner didn’t invent color surf photography, but he was the first real master of the craft.
