Who's that crazy guy out there?!
Ever been sailing in the British Virgin Islands &
see someone in a dinghy trying to get right smack in
front of you? Chances are that's one of the Yacht Shots
shooters. Don't worry, you won't hit us. We're professional
yacht photographers.
With a longtime love of sailing & a new discovery
of photography, Guy created Yacht Shots in 1995, getting
the one shot sailors could never get themselves. In
the beginning, he photographed boats entering the North
Sound, Virgin Gorda with film; hand developed it &
delivered prints to boaters personally before they left
the next day. With the overwhelming workload and ever
increasing number of vessels in the British Virgin Islands,
he gladly teamed up with newcomer Brynley Argast in
2000 and taught her everything he knew about driving
a boat while shooting at the same time. It wasn't long
after she was spotted bobbing up & down in the dinghy,
half way out to Anegada.
Over time, personal events led them both off the secluded
island & a new game plan emerged: Photograph boats
coming out of Norman Island & they can see the photos
when they arrive in North Sound.
Over the years, a handful of photographers have come
to get their feet wet & test their balance as Yacht
Shots Photographers. In November 2008, Charlene Massac
from New York, joined the Virgin Gorda operation to
help sailors find their photos when they reached the
North Sound. And David Coulas, hailing
from Mississauga, Canada can be seen on
the water near Norman & Peter Island.
Weather permitting (with at least 11 kts of wind and
a drop of Sunshine) one can find Yacht Shots snapping
away near Norman & Peter Island daily from 8:30-11:45am
(November- August). Have at least two sails up and head
upwind for the best chance of being photographed. Power
boaters- if you're interested in photographs, give us
a call the day before hand, so that we can keep an eye
out for you- or if you spot us out on the water- drive
straight for us and wave.
Guy is now back up in Virgin Gorda, along with new
comer, Pierre Van Der Spuy. They're shooting yachts
and water sports on a daily basis.
Contact us to arrange an appointment near Nanny Cay
or the North Sound, Virgin Gorda. We're also available
for interiors & brochure photography, as well as
family portraits, weddings & other events.
