Born from friendship, saltwater, and creative synchronicity, this collaboration brings together Tony the Long Island Sandman and Darya Sea Films. Together, we craft one-of-a-kind experiences that live where the ocean meets art. Sand sculptures shaped by hand, and the moments around them captured forever through cinematic photography.
Sand Art by The Sandman
Our work begins where the waves reach the shore, that space between creation and disappearance. Tony sculpts each custom sand piece as a love letter written in tide and time, and I photograph it in the light that only the ocean knows how to give. Each piece is temporary by nature, but through our collaboration, it becomes a lasting memory that feels both ancient and alive.
Imagine standing barefoot in the sand, watching a heart, a mermaid, or a symbol of your love take shape before your eyes. The breeze carries the sound of waves while the sculpture grows from grain to grace. Then, through my lens, that fleeting art — and the connection it celebrates — is preserved forever. Every session becomes an intimate ritual: a moment of creation, celebration, and remembrance.
This experience is for those who believe love deserves to be celebrated in the most natural way, outdoors, in the elements, surrounded by the sound of the sea.
Perfect for proposals, anniversaries, or simply for the souls who understand that love itself is ceremony enough.
Sand art teaches us that beauty doesn’t need permanence to matter.
It asks us to be fully present — to see, to feel, to cherish before the tide returns.
Through our collaboration, what’s ephemeral becomes eternal, not by resisting time, but by honoring it.
Let us create something that exists only once, yet lasts forever.
A sculpture shaped by hand, a photograph shaped by heart.
Together, we’ll make art that the sea will touch… and time will never erase.
