LIVING OCEAN PHOTOGRAPHERS

Rita is a half Korean/German self-taught, award-winning photographer; for the last 5 years living on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Australia.
Rita’s great passion is capturing the beauty of this blue planet mostly with marine wildlife in it. She also enjoys working with charitable organisations foremost to spread awareness and to help keep our oceans clean and protect the life they hold. Being from Germany with no ocean in sight she is over the moon to be able to have found her passion in photographing the ocean and wildlife. ‘When you’re right next to dolphins, sharks, whales, turtles – [close enough] that you could reach them for a tickle – it’s not surprising that you just fall for them.’ |

Growing up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney I have always been connected to the ocean. I was always in the water whether I was body boarding or free diving. I learnt how to scuba dive when I was 16 and my passion and love for the underwater world exploded as did my knowledge of the dangers that the oceans are facing.
The value of the research that Living Ocean is doing is immense. For example, by mapping the routes the whales take during their migration, we will seek to stop any industry from attempting to introduce activities that will threaten the whales as they make this grueling journey. Photographing these whales onboard the Living Ocean research vessel as they migrate north, I like to think is a way to not only show everyone how amazing they are but also to get the word out that the harpoons are not the only danger that humans pose to these beautiful beings. |

Steve Maxwell is a totally passionate film maker and image capture specialist on land and in the water. His love of the ocean is reflected in stunning images taken with underwater cameras, drone capture and his favourite camera kit, a hi end Canon body combined with an 800mm lens.
His images for Living Ocean research have been invaluable as he captures every mark and shape on recorded sightings for our Humpback records. This aids identification and also tells of possible entanglement issues plus other encounters. His passion is all wildlife. Check out his work on Wildman Films. "I just love capturing the ocean and all its creatures on a film or still especially the whale which Living Ocean has given me great opportunity to be involved with and now one of their main cinematographers" |

David Jenkins vision is to create ‘Images that Change the World’ and that show ‘Reflections of the Spirit’!
Today with the crisis of climate change, over population and the continued rapid degradation of the Earth David believes even more passionately in the power of great images to talk to people’s hearts and affect change. "Since 2006 I have been involved with whale conservation, scientific studies and whale watching. In 2012 I created the Whale Spotter website so that I could better share my love of whales and provide information about whale species, conservation, whale watching and science across Oceania". |

Throughout my life I have mostly lived by the sea and have always had a fascination and appreciation for its power, it’s beauty and it’s wildlife. The ocean is another world that many of us never get the chance to explore. Often, it’s only through imagery and documentation that people get to appreciate it’s intrigue and beauty. I have always had respect for the ocean and the need for its conservation. I’m grateful that in my career I can share this appreciation and allow others to experience it’s magic. It’s my hope that people will see my images and help keep our oceans a clean and safe sanctuary for all sea life. I have been running photographic safaris for about 10 years and I’m still excited each time I get to see these majestic and gentle giants.

Tom Carroll is a long term supporter of Living Ocean and he has an uncompromised love of the ocean and all things within it.
His passion for photography is little recognised, however it should be as his images tell a great story about his journey across our oceans and the planet. Tom's images are included on our website over several pages and we will feature them in an upcoming blog and video on our channel. |

Growing up in Hawaii, I saw my first surfing movie, Surfing Hollow Days by Bruce Brown and the entire experience left a strong impression on me. I've spent my life's work, more like play, sharing what I capture in still photos and film/video just like I learned with humility and respect from Bruce and the early pioneers of the genre. In 1975 I made my 1st surfing film with then partner Dick Hoole titled TUBULAR SWELLS. Since then I have had the privilege to work on over 25 short and feature films on surfing.

"Light is the key to our existance. It pervades the universe and is borne in stars, the same as us. So we are light. Light illuminates and reflects the physical form of of reality. So if you observe light you can see creation. The passion to capture this vision of a moment in time is a reflection of the observation of the relation of ourselves passing thru creation. Its not difficult to become a hunter of images of creation because it is astonishing. The more you see the more passion you feel for life and the 'art' of existence". Co founder Living Ocean
