When he\u2019s not in the water, he\u2019s often leading adventure photography excursions, or he\u2019s perfecting his craft. While Sean was one of the first pros to start shooting digital photography, he also has decades of darkroom experience. Sean brings the finesse and detail learned in the darkroom together with his natural talents and digital tools available today to create stunning imagery you won&#8217;t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seandavey.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5424 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Flynn_by_B.E._041013_0005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Flynn_by_B.E._041013_0005.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Flynn_by_B.E._041013_0005-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Flynn_by_B.E._041013_0005-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>His work flows from these two mottos: &#8220;Shoot Different&#8221; and &#8220;Seek The Light.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I\u2019ve always been attracted to the road less traveled with where I go and in what I do. I even apply this thought when I\u2019m on the beach at Pipeline with 30 other photographers. When I was shooting for the magazines, I knew it was always going to be the different images that the magazine editors would zero in on, especially when looking at the same moment from a dozen different photographers. So, this has always been a strong motto for me to shoot by for various reasons.&#8221; &#8211; <strong>Shoot Different<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seandavey.com\/\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5426 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ipple_040211__481_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ipple_040211__481_.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ipple_040211__481_-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ipple_040211__481_-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve always been drawn to unusually bright and hard light, partially influenced by the work of Australian; Max Dupain and American; Pete Turner.
