There’s no better mentor to have in your learning surf photography than surf veteran and worldwide known photographer, Sean Davey. Sean’s a veteran of the surf publishing world, one of the most innovative areas in the photography scene. Over the past 30 years, Sean’s work has been featured in more than 180 magazines globally.

For the past 10 years, Sean has been sharing his knowledge and techniques about his trade with others, like you, and today his 1:1 workshops are still going as strong as ever.

Behind the Scenes

Sean has always loved the idea of approaching his photography a little differently than other photographers, and all the more if there are other photographers about. He lives on the North Shore of Hawaii, the most photographed the surf zone on the planet, so he’s very knowledgeable about what it takes for capturing perfect photos.

There has been a surge of innovative, new ways to shoot photos over the years, and Sean is ready to share the tricks up his sleeve, plus much more.

You need to be innovative to dish up images that thrill magazine editors and photo buyers, alike. The one thing that magazines always love are images no one else has.

This takes the willingness to throw away perfectly good image opportunities, in the quest of producing truly individual pictures in much smaller numbers. That means actually going out of your way to ensure that your images will be unique beyond others.

It could be the simple use of a neutral density filter over the sky or a massively slow shutter speed. There are all kinds of ways Sean can teach you in order to produce your own strikingly original imagery. Every day is different, so the options change.

Luckily, there are many different ways that Sean goes about photographing, each relying on a different set of weather and/or ocean conditions.

Sean’s lessons are deliberately small and personal, to ensure a high level of skill is actually passed on to each participant. The added advantage for keeping workshop classes to small groups is so Sean can personalize every single lesson to the individual.

For example, if you want to learn specifically about a certain type of shooting or approach, Sean will zero straight in on that. Or if you want to learn fresh new approaches to your own photography, you will also walk away well-armed with renewed enthusiasm and a whole fresh perspective. The object of these workshops is to always get unique, innovative and beautiful images.
