Dr Alexander Mustard has been taking underwater photographs since he was 9 years old and has worked full time as an underwater photographer for the last 10 years. His photographs have won many awards including five in BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year. His last book, Reefs Revealed, won the International Grand Prize for the best book of underwater photographs.
His photographs have been displayed in exhibitions around the world and a particular highlight was presenting his work to Queen Elizabeth II. In 2013, Alex was named GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year for his image Night Moves - the first time an underwater photograph has won this prestigious award.
Alex is a regular contributor to many publications in the marine, wildlife, diving and photographic media, and to date has published more than 400 articles. In particular, he is a sought after writer on all aspects of underwater photography, particularly equipment reviews and technique articles. In addition to various features, he currently writes three monthly columns on underwater photography: IMAGES Column for Sport Diver (USA), Be The Champ for DIVER Magazine (UK) and Fisheye for Wild Planet Photo Magazine (UK). He also contributes to the quarterly Underwater Photography Masterclass feature in Ocean Geographic Magazine (Australia). His images are also regularly featured in other newspapers and magazines around the world. Alex was one of the commissioned photographers for the 2020VISION conservation photography project in the UK. Several major diving equipment manufacturers and national tourist boards are among his professional clients. One of the most unusual projects Alex has been involved in is Nissan's NV200 concept car built for the Tokyo Motor Show. The car was designed specifically around his needs as an underwater photographer working in the field.
