Fort Lauderdale Beach Prints by Andy Royston

I am so very lucky because when I look out of the window when I wake up every morning, I see beautiful palm trees, sunshine and boats.

Imagine waking up and seeing a beautiful beach at sunrise. Imagine the ocean and picture the palm trees swaying in the warm, gentle breeze. Not many people have that luxury. But himself has recently released a selection of prints that can be purchased online so that you can enjoy beach scenes in your home every day.

Andy is acknowledged as one of the top ten fine art photographers in his field.

His work has been in several prestigious exhibitions in galleries all over the world. His artwork is prized by many collectors but Andy has created this range, which is available exclusively online, so that we can all afford to enjoy his fabulous fine art extremely affordably.

They are available in a wide variety of sizes, framed or unframed. There's an enormous selection of frames too, so you can tailor your print to exactly suit your décor.

Enjoy!

The lifeguard stations of Miami Beach are instantly recognisable - but so are Fort Lauderdale's. You can see one of these above.

The sea turtles are a feature of Fort Lauderdale beach. Females come to the beach, almost always under the cover of darkness, to lay their eggs.

They then cover the eggs carefully before returning to the ocean.

Volunteers patrol the beach every morning during laying season to protect the delicate eggs. The nests are cordoned off and signs erected so that everyone will know not to disturb the eggs.

It's rare for these nests to be disturbed - beach visitors are careful - but the next problem occurs when the sea turtles hatch.

Instinctively, they follow the light when they are newly hatched. As this hatching generally takes place at night, in ordinary circumstances that means that they follow the light of the moon into the ocean.

This is why street lamps on the A1A - the coast road - are shaded during turtle season.

However, some businesses, notably hotels, have lights which are too bright and the newly hatched turtles head towards them - and the road.

Volunteers are constantly vigilant, setting up patrols to ensure that the baby turtles make their way safely to the ocean.

People are always surprised when they realize that Andy Royston is an iPhoneographer.

Yes, every image you see here was taken on a cell phone. For over six years, he has walked on Fort Lauderdale Beach at sunrise - rain or shine - taking photographs and sharing them instantly on social media. While he's out, I sit at the computer and repost them to my own local social media - we have the system off to a fine art after all this time.

Andy teaches iPhoneography at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale and is the Graphic Designer for Broward Arts.

In addition to these value-for-money prints, you can also own a genuine, signed giclee by Andy Royston. These are limited to small print runs, are personally signed by Andy and use papers and inks which are of the highest museum grade quality.

These are also in demand from hotels and resorts.

Fort Lauderdale beach has been popular since the early pioneers built the first bridge from Las Olas Boulevard to the ocean. Until that time, beach visitors had to access it by boat.

Today, in addition to those who are simply sunning themselves, our beaches are popular with scuba divers and snorkellers.
