Eva Seelye, based in Seattle, Washington, is a renowned adventure photographer and content creator with a unique and inspiring background. Born on a sailboat in Michigan and raised across diverse locations such as Washington, the Bahamas, and the Marshall Islands, Eva's adventurous spirit was nurtured from an early age by her mother. Her father's government job took the family to various remote places, allowing Eva to develop a deep appreciation for nature and exploration.
After living on a small island in the Marshall Islands until high school graduation, Eva returned to Seattle to attend the University of Washington, where she majored in photography. For the past four years, she has dedicated herself full-time to adventure photography, previously working as a social media manager and an editor. Her work often delves into the historical aspects of the places she explores, such as the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests and their lingering impact.
Eva's photography career gained significant traction around 2017-2018, with a notable growth spurt in 2019-2020 when she secured her first paid collaboration. The COVID-19 pandemic was a pivotal moment for Eva, as being laid off from her job at a global luxury travel company pushed her to embrace her passion for photography full-time. Her background in social media management equipped her with the skills to develop effective content strategies, which she now employs in her own work. Eva's work promotes sustainability and inclusivity in the outdoor adventure realm. She aims to break down barriers such as cost and accessibility, making the outdoors more inclusive for everyone. Currently based in Seattle, Eva enjoys hiking and backpacking, with plans to visit Glacier and Banff. She also engages in Airbnb photography, capturing unique rentals.
