Leith “Holtzy” Holtzman is a photographer, journalist and film maker with over 30 years experience specializing in extreme sports and underwater photography.

During the summer months Holtzy divides his time capturing the huge surf of the Margaret River region and traveling the world filming extreme sports, specifically freestyle motocross (FMX). He's worked for many years as Senior Photographer and Journalist with Freerider MX Magazine and has had hundreds of articles and photos published in other magazines all around the world including Tracks Surfing Magazine, Australian Surfing Life, Surfing World, Waves, Carve, Riptide, Bodyboarder, Western Angler, Fishing World and many more.

 

Holtzy has also released 10 action sport films and written, produced, directed, filmed, edited and occasionally starred in the successful extreme sport lifestyle TV series “HomegrownManiacs” which aired for two years on Foxtel and was watched by more than 700,000 people. A career highlight was spending 13 winter seasons behind the lens traveling the Ningaloo Reef photographing and filming all of it's amazing creatures in their natural environment such as whale sharks, manta rays, humpback whales and orcas. These extraordinary experiences were collaborated into a superb coffee table book “Ningaloo - Reflections on the Reef” which was released in 2015 and has long since sold out. Currently Holtzy is living off grid in a tent at Gnaraloo where the West Australian desert meets the sea while he completes his first fiction novel- a surf/murder/mystery titled “Havoc” and commences work on the second book of the series.
