Catching the wave: Susan and her journey into ocean photography

In this episode of the We Belong podcast, Maria sits down with Susan Whitby — an archaeologist whose unexpected dive into ocean photography during COVID led to a new creative chapter in her life. What began as a simple way to spend time outdoors soon became a daily ritual of capturing the light, movement, and emotion of the sea. From early morning swims at Collaroy to chasing the perfect wave shot, Susan’s story is grounded in curiosity, quiet joy, and a deep connection to nature. She reflects on the meditative rhythm of photographing waves, the beauty of sunrise, and the importance of slowing down and paying attention. If you’ve ever felt the pull of the sea or wondered what it means to follow a feeling, this episode is a gentle reminder to lean into what lights you up. You can find Susan on SusanWhitbyPhotos.com or on Instagram @susanwhitbyphotos.
