Alex Mustard
Alexander Mustard, 34, from Hampshire, is an underwater photographer and category winner in both the Wildlife Photographer Of The Year and the British Wildlife Photography Awards. With a PhD in marine biology, much of his photography is driven by his knowledge of marine wildlife and passion for the marine environment, although he strives for images that go beyond scientific records and engage the viewer in the underwater world.
His most recent book, Reefs Revealed, which received the Grand Prize at the World Festival of Underwater Photography, celebrates coral reef life and explains how this ecosystem is threatened by global warming. Since its publication, he has photographed more extensively in temperate waters, including the UK, where the wildlife and the challenges it face are even less known.
Alex is a contributing editor and the underwater photography columnist for DIVE Magazine (UK), a committee member of the British Society of Underwater Photographers, and a member of the Ocean Artists Society.
