ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert has worked professionally on commercial television sets doing production photography, shot modern dance for the art department at the University of Calgary, and has worked in a freelance capacity shooting a variety of subjects. Rob worked as a NAUI scuba instructor, and then instructor trainer for the University of Calgary from 1993-1999. He is still an avid diver, and never dives without a camera.

He moved to Europe in the late 1990s and now resides in the UK.

He’s written several articles for national dive magazines, and often gives presentations on his own underwater photography and photographic technique for photographic clubs in the UK.

Robert worked as a technical specialist, and then technical account manager in the IT industry for many years, and now works part time as a photographer, and full time as editor for the Underwater Photography Guide.

What's New in Underwater Photography going into 2020....

The DEMA show is the world’s largest tradeshow for dive industry and underwater photo/video professionals. This year DEMA 2019 was held in Orlando, Florida and all the big names in the industry were in attendance! We were particularly curious what DEMA 2019 was going to hold for underwater creatives after momentous strides in photography made in 2018 and the start of 2019. The mirrorless camera revolution, particularly in the full-frame market, has changed the game for many underwater photographers.
