“The garden”
I’ve been looking a lot further afield than my normal shooting locatons, looking for fresh new locations to shoot and I’ve been finding a couple lately. Take this morning for example. I got up in the dark, grabbed a cup o’ coffee and headed down the coast. The place that I was hoping to shoot [...]
The Great Ocean Road was better than great.
I just returned from a 10 day photo trip to Victoria and Tasmania, both southern states of Australia. I managed to shoot a lot of great panoramic landscapes while I was there, despite sometimes less than favorable weather conditions. The Great Ocean Road was a great example of this. We rocked up Gibson Steps, just [...]
New sequence triptych Canvas’s
Folks, I’ve been offering the triptych canvas’s for quite some time now and they have proved to be some of my top sellers. I’ve had a pretty good run, shooting pictures of waves recently and so I thought I’d take it a little differently and offer triptych canvas of wave sequences. They look pretty cool [...]
New Surf City – canvas series
Folks, I’ve always imagined well known cities with surf in them. Of course most don’t have and we hardly ever see images of any except for the very occasional image of Honolulu or Rio. I set out to see what some of these places would look like with surf so with the help of Photoshop, [...]
Calm conditions deliver great surf-art opportunities.
Most folks who know my photography, often know how much I’ve always pursued and photographed waves. Sometimes, it’s not even the waves at all that I shoot, but maybe the foam that was left behind or a random bit of water leaping over the edge of the beach. Perhaps a shell buried in the sand. [...]
Liberty Surf in New York City.
Folks, there is a world tour surf contest happening in New York right now with a unprecedented record prize money purse of 1 million dollars. The surf so far has been pretty poor but I reckon they must be expecting some good waves eventually with Hurricane Katia now on the approach. It could end up [...]

From the new Hawaiian seascapes 2 collection by Sean Davey, this image entitled Pipe Clouds is presented here in triptych Canvas form. Triptych canvas orders can be made at fineart@seandavey.com
North East Art show at Salisbury Beach, Mass, a big success.
Surf artist Jay Alders and I just finished up at the North East surf art and music festival at Salisbury beach in Massachusetts. It ran over this past weekend under glorious blue skies and balmy temperatures. Amazingly, there were thousands of people hanging out on the beach which for me was a bit of a [...]
Take home an amazing triptych Canvas from Davey today
…..I find that it’s always cool to do something a little differently to everyone else…..
2011 could be an extra bad year for storms in Hawaii.
the water to Hawaii’s north is currently 7 degrees warmer than normal
There’s nothing like a roll around the shore-break, to start the day out
…my favourite thing has always been to capture the sun coming up while in the surf, itself.
A few wild rides at the bay yesterday
With all the recent news of the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and meltdowns, I completely overlooked the weather forecasts and so was caught by surprise by yesterday’s big waves.
Lightning in paradise….
We had some pretty electric weather last night, up here on the north shore. Every several seconds, there’d be a volley of lightning, but unlike some past storms, it wasn’t raining right upon us, so getting a few frames off on the camera wasn’t as tricky as usual. I set it up, looking up at [...]
Big Gnarly Pipe Barrel Surfing
Pipeline today was much the same as yesterday, except a little smaller and not quite as many wipeouts. I love to photograph the surfers, using unconventional techniques. Take todays images, I shot them using very slow shutter speeds. Enjoy…
Photographers at the beach
I was shooting photos at the Backdoor Shootout yesterday at Pipeline and it was really obvious, what a huge impact the surf industry has had on the established surf photographers. I had to look really hard to see anyone I actually knew. The vast majority of shooters there, I had no idea, who they were. [...]
The Annual Aloha Bowl in Hawaii
Lanes dad just visited us for Christmas here in Hawaii and while he was here, he took us to the Sheraton Aloha Bowl, which is a pretty important, annual footballmatch in Honolulu at Aloha Stadium. This year, the match was between the University of Hawaii Warriors and a team from Tulsa, Arizona. I distinctly remember [...]
Some watery gems from this morning, on the north shore
The north shore has once again returned to a sleepy hamlet this morning, much like how it is in the middle of summer, however I’m sure that it will short-lived. Word was that quite a few big parties were happening at all the surf team houses last night. They were probably all sleeping it off [...]
Kelly Slater | 10 world titles | Where to now?
I just watched Jeremy Flores convincingly come from behind in both the semi final against Kelly Slater and then against Kieren Perrow in the final of the PipeMasters, both times, needing a giant seemingly unatainable score in the dying moments of the heat and he did it both times. Top effort there from the french [...]
Storm Clouds move in over the Hawaii’an islands.
Lane and I were down at Pipeline quite early this morning expecting the worst, but the surf was actually pretty good, much like yesterday, largely missing Pipeline altogether but just being groomed into perfect waves up at Rockpile, just like yesterday. One thing different though were the ominous, very
Bodysurfing 10-12 foot Rockpiles
The Pipemasters is happening today along with a good sized swell. Unfortunately the angle of the swell is totally missing Pipe , save for a few 4-5 footers. Meanwhile down the beach, it was pumping at Rockpiles. I was shooting Tom Carroll absolutely ruling 8-12 foot Rockpiles this morning. These 2 bodysurfers swam out and [...]
Some glimpses from the Eddie
Folks, I rocked up the Eddie Aikau big wave surf invitational ceremony this afternoon for the first time in years. I had given it a miss the last few years because frankly it’s quite a scene and not really my style. I made the effort to come down to Waimea Bay today though because it [...]
Early Season Waimea goodness!
Folks with all the news of world champ; Andy Irons unfortunate passing, it was pretty easy to overlook that we just had a pretty decent Waimea day of waves here. It happened the same day that the news broke, so that’s why I haven’t posted any images till now. It wasn’t quite all the way [...]
Remembering Andy Irons 1978 – 2010
Folks, it is with great sorrow that I report to you, the death of 3x world surfing champion; Andy Irons. Apparently he was in transit and was prevented from boarding a flight back to Hawaii, due to his illness. He passed away that evening in a Dallas hotel room. I just want to say that [...]
