Aaron Chang

Aaron Chang is an American-born artist, known for his exceptional ocean photography and stunning visual art. An internationally acclaimed artist, Chang has collectors all over the world and his work has been published in hundreds of books and magazines. Respected as a creative force who helped visually define the sport of surfing, Aaron spent 25 years as a senior photographer at Surfing magazine, traveling to the far reaches of the globe. During this time, Chang set new standards for modern ocean photography. Today, as a fine art photographer, Aaron’s company has owned and operated two thriving galleries in the San Diego area for the past years, our flagship gallery in Solana Beach, one in Carmel-by-the-sea and the other online at AaronChang.com. Aaron continues to travel the world, having melded his passion for the ocean and the visual arts into a successful lifelong career. Aaron’s new direction melds the abstract and reality genres in the ocean realm, resulting in the viewer connecting with nature in an inspiring way. Aaron continues to create pieces for commercial development companies, including two mixed media sculptures commissioned in 2017 by the health care industry. One piece spans 10’ wide x 15’ high. It is a lenticular image of a wave that breaks as the viewer moves alongside the piece. With the trend toward biophilic design (bringing the connection with nature into the design of where we live and work) Aaron’s art is aligned with the concepts that focus on the energy and power of the ocean. Aaron will be launching his Collection of 35mm photography from the 80s and 90s in early Summer 2022 as NFTs. Aaron’s passion is to share his love and connection with the ocean. Whether through photography, multi-media art or NFTs, Aaron has a base of passionate fans that long to experience the beauty of the ocean through his eyes.
