“Capturing a moment that’s gone forever”
Karl Lagerfeld
Craig Crosthwaite | Photographer
After 30 years in the Advertising Industry I decided to follow my passion for the coast, surfing and photography.
My name is Craig Crosthwaite. As a child friends called me “CC” and that became the inspiration for the name SeeSea Images.
I started surfing at the age of 8 and I'm still catching waves. Surfing has given me a passion for the water and an understanding of the elements, wind, waves and weather. I have also loved photography, but had limited knowledge of the wonderful things you could achieve through capturing light. So, I undertook a course at RMIT in Melbourne and ignited a passion for all things photographic.
I have combined my love of the ocean and my sense of adventure with my newly acquired skills (an old dog can learn new tricks) to see where it leads me.
“Craig Crosthwaite’s images are a stunning record of the world around us, but they are also an indication of his visual sensitivity, situational awareness, and his commitment to be at that place at that time ready to be surprised by nature. This is not a simple or easy thing, and in this being a surfer has obviously been instructive. Craig’s images show a deep understanding of nature’s ebb and flow, an ability to anticipate elemental movements and place himself at key points in time and space as all these components are drawn together. He has an artist’s eye, knowing how to position himself in the landscape to bring the light and natural elements together to create stunning images, images celebrated here”
