To pay the bills and keep me busy I work as a marine scientist for Marine Parks and in my spare time I’m doing a PhD on seahorse conservation. And in my spare spare spare time, I occasionally get to take a camera underwater!
I’ve been diving for 12 years and in that time I’ve developed a passion for marine life and underwater photography. I bought myself an underwater camera so I could photograph all the critters that live underwater and work out what they are! Over the years I’ve won a couple of different photo comps and I’m currently using a Nikon D300 in an Ikelite housing with dual Ikelite DS125 strobes.
