Action sports photographer & videographer · Wilmington, North Carolina
Action photography, video and drone footage for surfers, skaters, hunters, anglers, golfers, brands and publications in Wilmington, North Carolina and along the Cape Fear coast. I shoot from the water, the sand, the coping, the tree line and the air, catch the moment at its peak, and deliver a finished, edited set within 24 hours.
Based in Wilmington, NC, I photograph and film surfing, skateboarding, hunting, fishing and golf because they are the same act on different ground: a person committing to a moment they can’t take back. My job is to be in position before it happens, on the ground or in the air, fire at the peak of the move, and hand you photographs and footage that capture the beauty of that second.
Services
Every booking includes a pre-shoot call, the shoot itself with stills, video and drone coverage, a full edit, and a private online gallery with downloads. Prices below are flat, per session, with no hourly clock running. Travel beyond 50 miles and commercial licensing are quoted up front; see licensing for the basics.
01 — Surf
$395 per session
Long-lens coverage from the beach or jetty, with drone footage of the lineup and slow-motion video of your best waves. Ideal for individual surfers and small crews.
02 — Skate
$395 per session
Trick photography with a clean read: the moment of the make, the height, the terrain. Video rolls alongside the stills, and the drone covers the park from above. I’ll work a spot with you until the frame and the trick both land.
03 — Field & fairway
$395 per session
Documentary coverage of a hunt, a day on the water or a round: the walk in, the wait, the shot, the cast, the swing, and the light around all of it. Quiet, unobtrusive, and there when it counts.
04 — Editorial & brand
Contact for price
Lifestyle and action coverage for apparel, board, outdoor and sporting brands, and for publications that need a day covered by someone who can read a lineup, a ledge or a tree line.
Selected work
Pick a day on the calendar below and tell me what you ride, hunt, fish or play, and where. I reply within a day with availability and a quote.
A short call to settle the spot, the tide, the park hours or the shooting light, and the moments you want on film. Weather calls are made the evening before.
Two to four hours on location with camera and drone. You do your thing; I stay out of the way and in position. Quick previews on the back of the camera between sets or stands.
A private gallery within 6 to 24 hours: hand-selected, sequenced, color-graded stills, plus your edited video cut, with web and print files ready to download.
Also in motion
Alongside stills I write, shoot and cut short films. In Too Deep is the most recent: a house that looks safe from the street, and someone already home. The same discipline goes into the video and drone footage from every session, and into motion work for brands, from session edits to short-form campaign pieces.
About Jett
I studied Cinema and Media Arts at Vanderbilt University, which taught me how to build a frame, light a room and cut a story. Skateboarding taught me everything else: how to read a spot, how to wait for the make, and how to be in the right place when it finally happens.
Those two educations run the whole operation. The filmmaker in me wants every frame to hold up on a big screen. The skater in me knows that the best moments happen outside, with friends, doing the thing you’d do anyway even if nobody was watching. Whether it’s a dawn paddle-out, a session at the park, a morning in the pines or a round on the course, I shoot people doing what they love, because it’s exactly what I’m doing too.
Equipment
Cinema glass on a fast mirrorless body, with a drone overhead, so stills, video and aerials come off the same session on the same day.
Licensing & usage
Every session includes a personal-use license. Share the photos, video and drone footage on your own social media, print them for yourself, and keep them forever.
Use by a business, brand, shop, sponsor or publication, including paid or sponsored social posts, needs a commercial license. Licenses are priced by how, where and for how long the work runs, and are quoted up front with the booking.
Jett Sinn retains copyright to all photographs and footage. Files may not be resold, sublicensed, entered in competitions without written permission. Jett may use images from any session for his own portfolio and promotion.
