The Art of the Seascape
Where Seascape Photography Meets Soul
Tired of taking the same dull, lifeless beach photos?
I was, too. I tried and tried—chasing waves, sunsets, crashing surf—but my images never captured the feeling I saw in my mind.
After countless hours of experimenting, reading, and filling notebook after notebook, I finally discovered a workflow that consistently works—and it’s less about gear and more about seeing, feeling, and creating.
And that secret? I’m going to share it with you.
The Art of the Seascape isn’t just a 60-minute presentation. It’s a full-day workshop, a book, and soon—a cinematic journey. Every medium shares the same goal: to help you see, feel, and create like never before.
Not Seascapes—Soulscapes
Translating Awe Into Art
There’s something about standing at the water’s edge that makes the world fall away. In The Art of the Seascape, I invite photography clubs, art groups, and enthusiasts to step into that space with me—a space where light, mood, and rhythm meet.
This isn’t about following rules or copying someone else’s process—it’s about discovering your own connection to the scene and translating it into photographs that move others.
The 60-Minute Presentation
Part inspiration, part process, entirely about seeing the ocean with fresh eyes
In this hour-long talk, I share my favorite lessons from years of chasing the perfect light, wave, and moment. You’ll learn to translate the awe you feel at the shoreline into images that move viewers every single time.
- Why noticing small details makes a big difference
- How to embrace your emotions in photography (gasp—it’s okay!)
- Techniques for capturing light, motion, and depth

Whether you’re a beginner in seascape photography or a seasoned shooter, you’ll leave inspired, equipped, and ready to see the coast in a whole new way.
The All-Day Workshop

For those who want to take their seascape photography further, the full-day workshop is where theory meets practice. Together, we’ll explore the shore, experiment with compositions, and work side-by-side to turn fleeting moments into lasting images.
You’ll walk away with:
Confidence to capture mood, movement, and emotion in your photos
