The Emerald Coast, shot by a Hollywood eye.

Where Ed shoots in Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach has more distinct shooting locations than most visitors realise. Ed has spent years learning exactly where the light hits right, where the crowds thin out, and where the Emerald Coast looks its best. He'll pick the spot that fits your session.

The sugar-white sand and emerald-green water of the Gulf of Mexico make PCB one of the most photographically rich beaches in the American South. Golden hour here — when the sun drops toward the west and the water turns from green to gold — is unlike anywhere else on the Florida coast.

Ed shoots at Russell-Fields Pier, St. Andrews State Park, Shell Island, Camp Helen State Park, Pier Park beach access, and at all major PCB resorts including Laketown Wharf, Emerald Isle, and Boardwalk Beach. Tell him where you're staying and he'll handle the rest.

Most PCB photographers run 10–15 sessions a week on a formula. Ed doesn't. He limits his bookings so every session gets his full attention — the same attention he brought to a Spielberg set.
