J Class in Newport
Hey everyone I hope summer has been in full swing for everyone because it's definitely been a busy start to the season here in RI! Thinking I need to start a nautical/coastal portfolio so I went out shooting the J Class boats match racing in Newport last week! I only got a chance to shoot from land, but here are some images I took from Castle Hill and Weatherhill. Right now I'm just in a phase trying to get comfortable shooting on the water and shooting boats. But here's some of my shots from the races, enjoy!
And I also went down into Wickford for the first Tuesday Night Summer Concert. Although I didn't really get any good shots of the crowd or the band, I decided to do some downtown dusk shooting!

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
