Since the initial concept of the Faces of Surfing Nowak understood a strong method in capturing her subjects would be meeting them and photographing them in their own environments. "They are the most comfortable when they are in 'their' natural light," she says, "that light travels through each painting and their personalities and environment stays within my mind while I am making the piece."
Nowak met and photographed George Downing in Laguna Niguel, California at SIMA’s 2011 Waterman’s Ball, the same year he won the Lifetime Achievement Award. Nowak was introduced to Downing through friend and constant supporter of the collection, Paul Naude.
