entry description
This image was taken in Ha'apai, Tonga. Stand up paddle boarders were out exploring the shallow reefs at sunset. I wanted to demonstrate the innate bond humans have with the ocean, whether we are physically in it or floating on the surface. Our inherent relationship with the ocean is eternal and we must care for it in a way that ensures sustainability for the future.about the photographer
Originally from Scotland, I have a true passion for nature and the outdoors. Specializing in underwater and landscape photography, I strive to capture the worlds spectacular beauty in order to share with an audience, my experience and vision of our planet today. Travelling the globe working as a freelance photographer and PADI scuba diving instructor has given me a first hand insight into the effects humans are having on the natural balance of our planet. This is why I aim to capture and reveal the amazing nature we have in hope of promoting awareness and conservation for the future.back to gallery
