Joe Connor captures surfer Ryan Watts' mastery of the waves pounding the North West Ireland coastline in his extraordinary video for Colorado-based singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov.

Connor collaborated with specialist cameraman Clem McInerney to shoot New Zealander Watts riding the pipeline through huge Atlantic Ocean waves crashing into the rocky coast of County Donegal. Watts's skill and enigmatic presence provides a highly effective accompaniment for Isakov's plaintive track Mistakes.

It's astonishing footage - graded to a silvertone-tinged black and white by George K at Black Kite. Arguably the best ever shot for a music video.
