Giancarlo Beroldo grew up in Northern California camping and exploring the Pacific coastline with his family. At Berkeley high school Giancarlo studied under Dharini Rasiah in the Communication Arts and Sciences program, a social justice and media oriented education. The program taught him how to portray his world and to share those moments through photography. This made it a natural fit to share the world he has experienced in the ocean and on its shores through visual art.

After finishing studying Kinesiology at Cal Poly SLO, the ocean called and he moved to the Gold Coast of Oahu--an amazing stretch of light, water and land reaching from the base of Diamond Head (Le'ahi) to the edge Waikiki. Gsea works as a surf photographer and physical trainer around the island. Recently he published a book of photography called "Light, Water, Life: Visions of the Pacific."
With ocean photography each session is inherently unique and dependent on wind, tide, swell and lighting. My artwork is about capturing changing light in moving water. I am inclined towards using a triptych form that incorporates different images but integrates them into a singular vision. In this case the sum is equally important as the parts.
I print on recycled vinyl records and recycled aluminum as unique mediums that reflect the cyclical nature of the environment and to promote sustainability.
