APS Catalog 2012

It's that time of year; the much anticipated APS Catalog has hit the mailboxes of racing sailors across the US. We were happy to help decorate their catalog with our sailing images again this year. This is the general catalog cover, but APS also personalizes the catalogs for each of the One Design classes that they serve with a custom cover photo. So we're always locating our favorite shots of Thistles, Flying Scots, Melges 24s, Snipes, J22s, and more!

The APS Catalog is now available online as well, at this link: http://www.livedigitaleditions.com/publication/?i=111894. Happy shopping!

Gone Fishing

How cool is this guy? We watched him sail a few miles to this spot, trolling the whole time, then drop an anchor, deploy a diver down flag, and disappear under water at the base of the Sunshine Skyway bridge on Tampa Bay. I wonder what he was diving for...

PhotoBoat's Professional Marine Photographers provide regatta and boating lifestyle photography, with specialties in commercial advertising photography, editorial photography, private yacht assignments and on-the-water event photography. Their online galleries include personal event photos, stock power and sailboat images, and marine art. They are based in Connecticut and regularly travel to Newport, Annapolis, Miami, Key West, Boston, New York, New Jersey, and other sailing hotspots.

Allen and Daniela started PhotoBoat in 2005 and have spent every day since building PhotoBoat from the ground up. Their growth has been tremendous. Their "crazy" style- harnessed into a small RIB and photographing and driving at the same time- got them noticed quickly, and their oustanding photos and professionalism have done the talking ever since.

Today the brand is known across the United States sailing community and beyond. With thousands of hours on the water photographing, they use their experience and creativity to go beyond the usual.

With as many hours logged at sea and also in front of the chalkboard, teaching sailing, their love for the sport comes out in their work, and their skills behind the "wheel" have been noticed across the country. Their "never-satisfied" attitude has made waves in the marine photography field.

Now Allen and Daniela shoot from a variety of platforms, depending on the gig and the client, but they still utilize the "dinghy" extensively to get the close-up shots that nobody else can without disturbing the race course.

Allen and Daniela both have 50 Ton Master USCG Captains licenses. When they are not on their way to or from an event or assignment in South Carolina, Maryland, Maine, or beyond, they live in Connecticut in the summer and Florida in the winter.
