About Us
Above and below the Sunshine Coast
Welcome to Photography Sunshine Coast, your destination for breathtaking coastal photography, surf art, and marine life prints captured along the stunning shores of Queensland.
Karl Angell, the artist behind the lens, began his photographic journey at the age of 16. With a deep appreciation for the ocean and wildlife, Karl started out photographing dolphins, dugongs, sea turtles, and the spectacular humpback whale migration while working on remote island resorts across Australia.
His skills expanded further while working at Australia Zoo, where he documented wildlife encounters, crocodile feeding shows, and unforgettable moments aboard their whale watching tours. These early experiences formed the foundation for Karl’s unique ability to capture the wild beauty of nature with precision and passion.
As a lifelong surfer, Karl combined his love of the ocean with his technical expertise to become a specialist in surf photography. His work takes you inside the barrel, out into the break, and deep into the elements — highlighting the emotion, movement, and color of each wave.
Being a great surf photographer means reading the conditions — chasing the right light, swell, tide, and wind direction to be in the right spot at the right moment. Karl’s photographs are not just pictures — they’re immersive experiences that bring you closer to nature’s raw beauty.
For the past decade, Karl has been building a unique collection of Sunshine Coast landscape photography, surfboard art, and ocean wall prints, all available for purchase in his Gallery Shop. Whether you're after a rolled canvas print, framed wall art, or a custom surfboard artwork, each piece is crafted to bring the spirit of the sea into your home.
If you're looking for ocean art prints Sunshine Coast, surf photography Australia, or marine wildlife wall art, you’ve come to the right place.
When he’s not in the water or behind the lens, Karl enjoys time with his wife and family, always keeping one eye on the weather — waiting for that next perfect swell or golden sunrise.
