Family first.

Aloha and welcome to the world of Cesere Brothers Photography!

Our goal is for you to be amazed, excited, and inspired by our love and passion for the ocean. We hope that having a piece of our photography on your wall will help put a smile on your face each and every day.

Childhood pact.

We began our careers in the frigid tide pools on the coast of York Beach, Maine. In the summer months, we would bounce out of bed and race across the street to the rocky coastline where we would spend hours searching for sea creatures in the shallow tide pools.

Occasionally we would take a break to set up a lemonade stand or car wash to earn money for a new mask, snorkel, or set of fins. Still too young to become scuba divers, we taped bendy straws and 2-liter soda bottles to our backs to use as scuba tanks. We honed our skills at our favorite spot called the “deep hole.” This three-foot-deep tide pool is the spot where we, at ages 8 and 4, sat together and made a pact to someday work together, live on an island, and spend each day searching the world for amazing ocean critters just like Jacques Cousteau did.

Passion.

Our passion for the ocean was apparent throughout our school years, producing hundreds of papers and projects about the ocean and the beautiful marine life we loved. It didn’t matter what was going on in our lives, we couldn’t shed our infatuation with the sea.

After graduating from college, we decided to pass on traditional careers and became scuba diving instructors and boat captains. In 2003, we bought one-way tickets to Maui, determined to create a successful career in the ocean. We spent the next 8 years working on a local dive boat, mastering our diving and photography skills. Our path began taking shape as we began capturing vibrant, unique and dynamic images that people couldn’t take their eyes off.
