As the Australian Giant Cuttlefish Aggregation comes into full swing, it s time to talk about protection of this iconic natural event. I recently did an interview with Chris and Laura Travels about this phenomenon and what it means to tourism and how awareness and protection of the marine environment during this vulnerable mating period is what will ensure the protection of the species. you can see the full article here

Over the past two decades, I have devoted myself to documenting and capturing the behaviour of humpback whales in Tonga, a group of islands in the middle of the South Pacific. In 2019 I asked Director Stefan Andrews to join me in Tonga and produce a documentary about these amazing creatures and my experience learning about the intricate lives of these gentle giants. Over the past 20 years I have been collecting data to support the research efforts of many organisations. In 2014 I launched a research initiative called the Tongan Fluke Collective, which encourages visiting photographers to donate tail shots in an effort to identify individuals and learn more about the Humpback whale population in Tonga. The film shows the beauty of these majestic creatures and explores Scott’s close connection to these animals and showcases a fascinating variety of unique whale behaviour.

I recently had the privilege to photograph marine conservationist Brad Norman for a new ROLEX piece ##PerpetualPlanet about the potential of citizen science and his life long dedication to whale shark research. check out the Washington Post Website.
