  3. Style • David is an underwater photographer that has spent decades capturing under water images, seeing first hand aquatic animals and the environment he loves.

  4. Inspiration • At the age of eight, David began snorkeling off the coast of New Jersey where he grew up. When he was 12, he began shooting underwater pictures. • He began to love taking pictures of fish and other sea creatures and was fascinated with seeing light underwater, even though he had asthma when he was taking pictures, its like he had no trouble breathing.

  6. Photo Critiques GalapAgos Sea Lion and School of Salema, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador 00098 Critique: The lighting is natural lighting. I like the direction the camera is coming from and the lighting is coming from the top of the water. The main subject is the Sea Lion, the school of fish act as a frame to the Sea Lion. David is communicating what this Sea Lions life is like underwater. I liked this picture because the Sea Lion stood out to me and I think the blue water is really nice.

  7. Hawksbill Turtle, Israel Critique: The lighting is natural lighting and its coming from above the water. I like the direction the camera is shooting from because you can see the whole body of the turtle. The main subject is definitely the turtle, and rule of thirds is in this image because the turtle is placed right in the center. I don’t think there is a story, just simply a turtle swimming in the ocean. I liked the colors of the water in this image and I also think the turtle is really cute.

  8. Southern Stingrays, Grand Cayman Critique: The lighting is natural lighting, the sun is shining down through the water onto the sting rays. The main subject is the sting rays, they look so clear under the water. There is a nice balance in this image, also there is a horizon line of water. I don’t think there is a story but it shows you the perspective of a sting ray. I think it looks really cool in black and white and I also like how it’s a longer picture kind of like a landscape.

  9. Harbor Seal in Kelp, Monterey Bay, California Critique: The lighting in this photo is natural lighting. I wish it wash a little more exposed so we could see the Seal better. The main subject of this photo graph is the Seal, it is kind of like a head shot. The photographer is using rule of thirds because the Seals head is a little off center. Maybe this picture is showing the Seal hiding or peeking over a reef. I like this picture because of the way the photographer caught him smirking.

  10. Box Jellyfish, Australia Critique: The lighting is natural lighting. The jelly fish is really bright and reflects light. The main subject is the jelly fish, it’s the only thing in the picture. This picture has leading lines, the arms of the jelly fish are out of frame but lead to the body of the jelly fish. I don’t see a story, just a jelly fish in the ocean. I liked this photo graph because of the simplicity and how cool jelly fish are.
