The Artist
Experience the beautiful intricacies of the sea through the fine art lens of Brian Sager, an award winning nautical photographer. Established on the island of Nantucket and working internationally, Brian predominantly creates his fine art photographs from the water. Whether he’s crewing aboard a classic yacht in a renowned classic yacht regatta, sailing offshore from New England to the Caribbean, or paddling through tidal creeks, Brian seeks to use light to showcase the often unsung details of the nautical world.
With a lifetime of sailing experience and more than 10,000 miles of offshore sailing under his belt, Brian showcases the allure of the marine world. He combines his profound understanding of sailing with a keen artistic eye, creating masterful images with lasting impact. Brian’s ultimate goal through fine art photography is to encourage others to engage with the beauty and complexity of the sea.
Brian received the Artist Association of Nantucket's Photography Award in 2020. He and his wife, Carey, opened Sager Fine Art in the heart of Cohasset Village, and welcomed their first child in 2022!
The Images
Brian's seascapes elegantly capture the beautiful, and sometimes tempestuous interplay between the sea and the elements. His sailing photographs offer a portal into the innumerable fleeting moments of sailing. Although the subtleties of sailing are typically reserved for sailors themselves, Brian invites his viewers to experience the raw emotions surrounding the sport that are often difficult to articulate. Whether it’s the thrill of a regatta start, the adrenaline rush of rounding a windward mark, or the paradoxical allure of calm & windless day, he asks his viewers to immerse themselves directly into the experience.
The Collectors
Brian's work is included in a number of private and corporate collections worldwide. Brian takes immense care in preparing his images to the highest standards, and only uses the finest available printing methods.
