Photographer and videographer Sean Connelly has “always been captivated by the beauty of our planet,” and he loves sharing his resultant artwork with others, he said.

CAMERA MAN: Sean Connelly has a long love story with the art of photography. Breaking waves, an illuminated beacon, textured glowing ripples and the underbelly of a dock are examples of the images he will show at LBIF this month.

His images are striking, rich and vibrant – intimate closeups and shots from great heights, with unexpected angles on familiar subjects such as surfers, the Manahawkin Bay Bridge and Barnegat Lighthouse.
