WAYNE DAVIS | Spotter Pilot & Aerial Photographer - Ocean Aerials

Wayne Davis is a pilot and photographer who specializes in photographing the offshore waters of New England. A Rhode Island native, Wayne has been flying for over four decades. His single-engine 150-horsepower, tandem two-seat Citabria airplane with long range fuel tanks, allows him to remain aloft for over 12 hours in pursuit of white sharks, hammerheads, whale sharks, basking sharks, various whales, rays, tuna, billfish, and other giants of the deep.

Working together with boat captains, Davis is able to connect researchers with wildlife more efficiently. He has flown extensively for Massachusetts Department of Marine Fisheries and Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s shark expert Dr. Greg Skomal, aiding in tagging expeditions to track the movements of white sharks off Cape Cod and surrounding regions. He has appeared on Discovery Channel’s Shark Week and his aerial images can be found throughout New England.
