98% of the liveable habitable planet
where animals can live is ocean and yet
less than 5% of the world’s oceans have
truly been explored so for a storyteller
for a journalist it really is a perfect
place to work because there’s limitless
amounts of stories and subjects down
there to find it’s the soul of the sea
that I’m trying to capture this
lifeforce that exudes from certain
animals and the spirit that you can
capture you don’t get it all the time
but when you do it’s it’s quite magical
whether I’m swimming with sharks or
whales or sea turtles or tiny creatures
nudibranch sore little shrimp there’s
always stories to be told and it’s a
discovery process you know for me as I
sort of connect the dots and spend time
with these animals I begin to see things
things are revealed to me it’s it’s like
peeling an onion every every layer
you’re getting deeper into it and you’re
seeing more it’s a never-ending process
and photography allows the the reader
and the photographer to to truly explore
this this unknown realm never
underestimate the the power is still
framed
I feel very passionately about wanting
to wake people up and save the planet I
have two young daughters at home and I
want them to see a bluefin tuna I want
them to swim with a whale or a dolphin
over the 35 years that I’ve been diving
and exploring the ocean I began to see a
lot of degradation things that probably
weren’t evident to most people because
it’s happening below the surface off the
radar as a journalist I felt a sense of
duty and a sense of urgency to begin
turning my cameras towards those stories
as well we’re not operating in a vacuum
human beings you know can’t exist alone
we need nature around us and the more we
know about nature the better I think we
will be in terms of just living in
harmony with it
