Jason Henthorne is an international award-winning photographer whose proprietary fotographic technique captures the intersection of ocean and earth. His black-and-white waterscape and landscape images evoke both calm tranquility and deep emotions.

Every year Henthorne adds to an already extensive travel résumé to remote locations around the globe to capture his high-contrast, long-exposure black-and-white photographs.

Henthorne’s evocative work stems from eliminating variables of light direction, tide and composition to then only fine tune his approach once on location. Nature and complexities of the weather become the arbiters of success vs. failure. Successful imagery comes not from serendipity, but from research long before the travel to a distant location.



Originally from the Midwest, Henthorne has been based in Tampa, Florida since 1994. His journeys have taken him from the torrid heat of the United Arab Emirates to frosty shores of the English Channel, and from the crystal gin-colored waters of the golden triangle in the Pacific to the middle of the Indian Ocean to explore the Maldives and Seychelles.

His limited edition “foto artworks” are featured in many private collections all over the world.
