Gayle MacAllister grew up in Huntington Beach, California. Her father Don MacAllister (aka The Mayor) of Huntington Beach and Peter Townend, Australian surfer and first IPS/ASP World Surfing Champion founded the Surfing Walk Of Fame located on Main Street in Huntington Beach in 1994.
Gayle is a portrait photographer and a women’s life coach. Her passion for creating soulful portraits began the moment her Dad handed her his Nikon camera while traveling abroad as a young teen. These experiences turned into a love of photographing locals in their communities around the globe. Gayle shares her time between Austin, Huntington Beach and Europe.
FACES OF THE WAVES is Gayle’s latest community project. It has evolved into a beautiful B&W floating exhibit, located upstairs & outdoors, in the Pacific City Center across from the Pacific Ocean in Huntington Beach. Her portraits spotlight a host of amazing men, women, and children who represent the faces of the waves in this series.
