Aloha, I'm Chas.

Born in Florida, I grew up loving nature and the ocean; I was that kid that brought home snakes, turtles and even a few alligators. I've always been a nature lover and a risk taker, so the U.S. Coast Guard seemed like a natural fit for me and I spent 17 of my 20 years in Hawaii, Japan and Guam. I retired in 2008 and decided I needed to do something completely different from the structured, organized military life. Loving photography and living in a photographer's paradise, I started Chas Beasley Photography and the rest is history.

I like to capture the whole spectrum of life in Hawai'i- whether its the chance to swim with 20 Honu or to catch some of the best waves in the world. I try to capture a unique perspective of Hawai'i, different from other photographers.

Mahalo for checking out my work!
