Sea Kayaking to Jewell Island: Maine Editorial Photography Adventure | Joe Klementovich
Maine Magazine - The Jewell of Casco Bay
Editorial photographer Joe Klementovich ventured into the heart of Casco Bay on assignment for Maine Magazine, capturing the raw beauty of an overnight sea kayaking adventure to Jewell Island. This collection of images documents the eight-mile paddle from Portland's East End Beach to one of Maine's most coveted coastal destinations along the Maine Island Trail - ”MITA”.
Through Klementovich's lens, the journey unfolds as a compelling visual narrative of New England adventure photography. The portfolio showcases kayakers navigating the crystalline waters between Peaks Island and Little Chebeague, the secluded cobble beach campsite on Jewell's southern tip, and the dramatic interplay of sunrise and sunset over the Atlantic. Each photograph captures the essence of Maine's rugged coastline—from intimate moments around the campfire to sweeping vistas of the open ocean.

article by Katherine Englishman, exemplifies Klementovich's expertise in outdoor and adventure photography. The images transport viewers into the experience of primitive island camping, full-body sea kayaking, and the liminal magic of Maine's island wilderness. This body of work represents the intersection of commercial editorial photography and authentic New England adventure storytelling.
