Seascape Photography
What is Seascape Photography?
Seascape photography is a form of landscape photography where the coast and sea are the main subject matter. Think spectacular views across the sea and the ever-changing conditions found by the water’s edge. A seascape photo can contain man-made elements, but often it’s nature that takes centre stage.

Cloud fronts meeting land add a little mystery over what may unfold. How will the light change as it hits the horizon, foreshore and the expanse in between?
It’s hard to beat an exhilarating coastal walk come rain, shine, or somewhere in-between… and it would be rude not to take a camera for a spot of seascape photography! The south coast provides a varied and ever-changing seascape… and of course weather to match.
Powerful, peaceful, perfect
The coast often demonstrates the power of nature through its stormy seas; unforgiving, mighty and able to provide an unparalleled perspective.
Even in rough conditions, the creative journey of photography allows one’s style to bring forth certain attributes – accentuating and diminishing elements to reach a cohesive whole within the scene – similar to how a landscape painter might. Matt examines the sea looking for peace and serenity within the scene before creatively working to give these qualities centre stage.
No two visits are ever the same. On one outing the camera stays in the bag… but the next may reward with a view that can’t help but stir the soul and fire creativity!

We are absolutely thrilled to bits with the result now it’s up! Matt offered expert advice about framing options, was patient and super helpful and even bought a copy of Serenity to see it in situ. The most difficult thing about the purchase was working out which of his excellent shots we loved the most! A superb and gifted photographer who made the business transaction an absolute breeze. Massive thanks, Matt! read less

Matt was not only very knowledgeable but able to put this across in a manner that my daughter easily understood (even I a non-photographer did!). He was well prepared and we were given a handout with all the info discussed so we could refer back to tit and after a quick try out of what we had learnt on hove seafront he also kindly said that we could always contact him if we got stuck or had a quick question he could answer via email.
Overall a great 2 hours, good value for money and would 100% recommend booking a lesson or 2. Thanks Matt I'm sure we'll be back for another lesson.

We went through some extra theory behind the use of settings on the camera before putting them into practice. He ensured that I understood how the settings affected the pictures both in theory and practice. His explanations were clear and easy to follow. I now just need to get more experience in using the skills. I would have no Hesitation in recommending him. read less
