Captured Under Sail

Vanessa Africa is a sailor and freelance photographer working in the Hebridean Islands on the west coast of Scotland.

“Trust yourself; you’re a woman now. Let go. Free fall.

And go back to the OCEAN.”

When I go to sea as a photographer, I know that I am limited to the platform of the boat. The potential environment however, is vast and highly emotional; sometimes disturbing or even frightening.

Combining sailing with photography has allowed me to combine adventure with art.
