Fredrick J. Leblanc

Frederick J. LeBlanc has worked as a professional photojournalist for over twenty-five years. His commercial and editorial images have appeared regularly in regional and national publications. His lifelong passion for classic, wooden sailing vessels has led him, over the last decade, to document these historic windjammers as they sail in harmony with the wind and sea.

Viewing himself as a photojournalistic storyteller, Frederick uses his fine art prints, to bring to the public a greater awareness and appreciation of our maritime heritage. Photographing in both traditional film and digitally captured images, he creates giclée prints in color, sepia, black and white, and photo impressions on watercolor papers with archival pigment inks, letting the subject determine which technique should be applied.

His current projects include documenting the Maine windjammer fleet, the annual Gloucester schooner Race as well as various tall ship and classic sailing events and regattas.
