Bradley Burbank is a film photographer based in Midcoast Maine whose work is deeply inspired by the quiet power of the coast. He began his photography journey in 2019 and quickly fell in love with the process — not just the images, but the experience of slowing down, observing light, and telling stories through a lens. What started as curiosity became the biggest journey of his life. Photography transformed the way he sees the world and gave him a meaningful way to express himself.

Bradley’s primary focus is landscape photography, with a strong devotion to the Maine coastline and its historic lighthouses. Drawn to foggy mornings, salt air, weathered wood, and the steady presence of beacon lights, his work captures stillness, nostalgia, and the emotional pull of place. Shooting primarily on film, he embraces the intentional pace and timeless quality it brings — each frame carefully composed, each image rooted in patience.

Beyond creating art, Bradley is passionate about connection. He shares his work online not just to showcase photographs, but to build community with others who feel drawn to the sea, to travel, and to quiet coastal moments. His work reflects both personal growth and a desire to inspire others to slow down and notice the beauty around them.

As a volunteer connected to lighthouse preservation efforts in Maine, Bradley understands the importance of protecting these historic structures. This passion led him to create the Lighthouse Keepers Snail Mail Club — a project that combines art, storytelling, and tangible connection through mailed prints while also giving back to lighthouse preservation.

Through his photography, Bradley hopes to create images that move people — work that feels calm, reflective, and meaningful. Whether standing on a rocky shoreline or sharing prints across the country, his goal remains the same: to capture light, preserve stories, and create art that resonates long after the moment has passed.
