About Sean
Sean Davey first picked up a Kodak 126 Instamatic camera after school one afternoon in late October of 1977 to photograph a tiny perfect wave at his home beach. Little did he know at the time that it would develop (pardon the pun) into a lifelong obsession that would take Sean many, many places, in pursuit of his chosen craft of photography.
Fast forward some 40 years to today, Sean Davey is a veteran of the surf scene. Widely published in several countries and featured on more than 180 international magazine covers, Sean’s work spans multimedia platforms, art mediums and various outdoor terrain.
An amicable character, Sean is well-liked by his peers and widely respected as a creator of innovative, nature canvas prints and seascape canvas.
Sean specializes in capturing seascapes. As an artist, he has found that people gravitate towards the beauty of the sea. Ocean photography has always been a dominant part of Sean’s work. He does his best to capture its many different moods. Style is also a large factor in Sean’s work and often is what sets his coastal canvas prints apart from other shooters.
Originally from the island state of Tasmania off the south east coast of the mainland Australia, Sean has called Oahu’s North Shore home for well over two decades. During the summertime, Sean can often be found photographing turtles, dolphins and fish, along with whatever else happens along the way.
Seascapes can be particularly difficult to capture, given that the ocean is in constant motion. To capture a seascape is to capture life itself. It’s part recreation, part work, but always satisfying to do.
