I hold underwater photography close to my heart. I see it as an art form as well as a hunt. Unlike on solid ground, you are in a dynamic and foreign environment - far from the top of the food chain. In North Queensland where I have done most of my scuba and free diving it’s a real treat to have a myriad of venomous and predatory animals about. It takes a clear head and steady nerve sometimes to observe and respond to the underwater environment in order to get the shot.

I completed my Open Water and Advanced diving courses in 2017 and went on to do Rescue and Divemaster’s certifications in 2019 before working full time as an underwater photographer. Thank you COVID for ending that chapter…
