Alison Langley has earned national recognition for her exquisite nautical photography, capturing the light, beauty and motion of classic yachts around the world.

Alison studied film at New York University, and photography at the Rhode Island School of Design. Opportunity took her to Australia where she learned to sail. Smitten with the lifestyle, for six years, she crewed on yachts and sailed around the world, taking photos all the while. Whether aboard a 130ft Brigantine sailing around Australia, or a Swan 651 through Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, classic wooden boats became her love and her focus. Alison's images and stories from this long adventure were published in magazines such as Cruising World, Yachting, Sail, and Travel & Leisure.

Returning to the States in the early 1992, Alison built upon her experience as both a sailor and photographer, becoming manager of Stock Newport, Inc., a photo stock agency specializing in nautical and marine related images.

Alison now lives in Camden, Maine, with her husband and children, and works as a commercial and fine art photographer, shooting on assignment regularly for both the editorial and commercial boating industry. In the summer she travels the Maine coast extensively onboard her chase boat "Tangent", taking both color and black & white images with her specialty being classic and wooden boats. Her work appears frequently on the covers of national and international sailing magazines. Alison's product line of calendars, note cards and posters are available in her gallery in Camden, and on this website.
