Kevin Dailey

Black & White Marine Photography | Coastal Elegance & Timeless Craft

Kevin Dailey is an accomplished photographer known for his striking black-and-white imagery of sailing vessels, open water, and maritime movement. His passion for nature and marine life began early in his life, evolving into a refined photographic vision that blends precision, atmosphere, and a deep respect for the sea.

Dailey’s talent was first recognized when he was commissioned to photograph and produce the Newsday Yachting Series for Newsday, the acclaimed Long Island newspaper. This project established his reputation for capturing the spirit and intensity of competitive sailing through a cinematic and highly technical lens.

His career has since taken him across the globe — Italy, Germany, England, France, and beyond — photographing yacht races and coastal landscapes with an eye for geometry, motion, and contrast. His images have been presented in multimedia exhibitions for audiences of over 400 people, and his work appears in galleries, private collections, and art shows throughout the United States and Europe.
