SEASCAPES
Seascapes present many photographic opportunities... from sweeping vistas and crashing waves to close-up details, human interaction and even the details beneath the surface. Emily Endean shares her diverse approach to exploring this varied landscape subject
The ocean is my favourite subject to photograph, whether at the shoreline or out in the water – it’s something I’ve always been drawn to. The connection runs deep in my soul, probably from a childhood spent in the sea, jumping the waves no matter the weather. More often than not, you will find me bobbing around in the water at dawn with my camera in hand, or hanging out at the shoreline, shooting both personal and work projects. It only felt natural as I got further into photography that the ocean became my focus and subject. From the movement of the water at the shoreline to people out in the water, I became fascinated by continually seeking new perspectives and new ways to capture this. Seascapes are such a versatile subject that there’s always something new to learn, which for me is part of the fun of photography!

Time of day
Ever since I got into landscape and seascape photography I quickly learnt time of day was everything in how a scene is represented. Seeking out the best light became my obsession! We all know that sunrise and sunset can display a spectacular change in light, but it’s also about the times leading up to and after those moments. Like being out for sunrise 45 minutes before the sun is even going to rise and seeing how the colour behaves in the clouds and how it changes as the sun comes up and touches everything in front of it, bringing a warm glow to the land and the sea. I love to use the sun’s light directionally once it’s too bright to shoot into; side light is a beautiful thing, helping to reveal details and shadows.
