About me!

Hi! My name is Grace Schreckengaust, I am a photographer, freediver, spearfisher, and ocean advocate!

My journey began with my love for the ocean and a desire to connect more deeply with nature. Born and raised in Encinitas California, where I spent most of my days by the water. I moved to Oahu Hawaii when I was 18 years old, where I fell in love with the ocean and photography even deeper. I have since been traveling the world and its oceans, spending my summers with the humback whales in French Polynesia and exploring new waters around the world! Freediving offers me a unique sense of freedom and tranquility, a peace that I can not seem to express any other way than through my photography; each photo taken on a single breath, it is a memory for me and a way I can share my view of the world with others!

As a photographer, I strive to share these awe-inspiring moments with the world. My images aim to evoke the wonder and serenity of the underwater realm, highlighting the delicate balance of life in our oceans, and inspire others to appreciate and protect our precious marine ecosystems!

I also have a passion for photographing humans, capturing real love and emotion and the feelings that come with living life.

Thank you for visiting, and I invite you to explore my gallery and print shop! If you have any questions or inquiries please feel free to contact me!!!
