Dr Alexander Mustard is both a marine scientist and also a highly talented underwater photographer. Part of a ‘new wave’ of up-and coming young photographers who have challenged our perceptions of what we see underwater, Alex has won many awards for his photography including being a multiple winner in both the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and World Festival of Underwater Photography in Antibes, France. Although increasingly dedicating more of his time to photography, Alex remains active scientifically
continuing to publish papers, including, in 2005, in the prestigious journal Nature. He is founder of the Young Underwater Photographer’s Group, the Digital Officer for the British Society of Underwater Photographers and Co-Administrator of Wetpixel.com.
