Emmy Award winning South-Florida based photographer Ben Hicks has journeyed across the Americas and ventured to exotic locales spanning the globe to compose a profoundly diverse collection of fine-art photography that truly captures the majestic beauty of the natural world.

This self-proclaimed “adventure-boy” not only strives to portray the familiar in extraordinarily original ways, but also takes big risks to capture the most complex, often dangerous situations including big waves and precarious animal encounters all to share his admiration for Mother Nature’s creations. Whether shooting tropical beachscapes in the South Pacific, vast sandstone buttes in the American Southwest or the first few open water strides of a leatherback sea turtle hatchling, Ben’s distinctive vision and inimitable approach to photography renders intricately detailed images that captivate viewers and serve as a testament to his enjoyment and reverence of nature.

Adam King is a world-renowned surf, coastal, and ocean photographer from Amelia Island, Florida. He strives to capture the unique connection we all share to the ocean.

Recognized for his use of vivid colors, intricate detail, and a keen eye for unique perspectives, King excels in capturing dramatic early morning lighting combined with spectacular moments with surfers and other water sports. But that’s just the beginning of the journey. Through techniques he has developed over the past decade, he brings it all to life through unique post-production editing and color theory, transforming each photograph into a captivating narrative. His images not only grace the covers of several international surf publications and media sources, but they also each tell a story and help build an appreciation for how precious our oceans are.
