In My Own Words
A Jersey-based photographer and filmmaker, Sean has created bodies of work across all landscapes of photography: from documenting dire environmental stories during the Standing Rock Pipeline Protests in 2016, to shooting lifestyle/editorial portraiture campaigns, and even being enveloped by the vintage hot-rodding and motorcycle communities.
In 8 years of picking up cameras, Sean's travelled both domestic and internationally creating a collection work that's ripe for the outdoor/lifestyle community. In the last year, he's made the inevitable move to filmmaking, which culminated in his first film, 'Stop Playin With Em,' a 60-minute surf documentary following Rockaway Beach, NY surfers Quest Soliman and Paul Godette over a 6 month stay in Panama, falling in with locals of all different backgrounds, and gathering valuable lessons and experiences along the way.
