“A consummate artist, award-winning photographer, David Doubilet began photographing underwater environments at the age of 12 in the cold, green seas off the northern New Jersey coast. He used a Brownie Hawkeye camera wrapped in a clear plastic bag, and he’s been behind the lens ever since. In 1971 he began contracting as a photographer for the National Geographic Society. He has captured groundbreaking images of great white sharks, flashlight fish, shark-repelling flounders, creatures of the undersea desert, flourescent coral, WW II wrecks and much more.
About his work for National Geographic, Doubilet says, “My job description is to make a picture of a place no one has ever seen before… or to make a picture that’s different of a place that everybody’s seen before”. Doubilet’s prestigious award winning photography include the “Sara Prize and International Award” given by the Mondo Sommerso Magazine in Italy. He was the first American and the youngest person to win this award. Read more
