David Doubilet stands out in the world of underwater photography as a unique and exceptional artist. Long before underwater photography became as accessible as it is today, some innate calling inspired David, born in New York in 1946, to put a Brownie camera into a plastic bag and take it below the cold, green waters of the New Jersey coastline at just 12 years old. Now, after decades of inspirational image-making around the globe, David is still at the top of his profession having created, among many other achievements, more than 60 stories for National Geographic magazine. David will share his latest inspirations with some of his best work to date, supported by his friends; multi-award winning underwater photographer and founder of the Ocean Geographic Society Michael Aw and world-renowned underwater filmmaker Leandro Blanco.

Wrinkled Babies

Night was fast approaching as the wind gathered strength. Short, sharp exhalations pushed against the gathering wind as the growing chop slapped into the massive grey-brown bodies just beneath the surface. A primal instinct was telling these massive creatures to head towards the shore. With a slight adjustment of the flipper and an effortless kick of a fluke, the pod turned away from the open ocean. The two females of the pod were fat; they wallowed as they crested through the breakers, in the minds was one thing, a hope.....the hope of hearing the first breath of new life.

The sometimes violent behavior of young human adolescents may strike some of us as unnatural, but the more we learn about nature, particularly our relatives in the class Mammalia, the less unusual it seems. To the extent that it earns the perpetrator social status, and improved access to females that a biologist would even consider fighting to be "adaptive".

Celebrating David Doubilet

With over 65 published essays for National Geographic, David is the most published natural history photographer. His undersea images are innovative, a creator of many significant firsts. David challenged himself by setting an aspiration to "redefine photographic boundaries" every time he shoots. His modus operandi in itself is inspiring: to make a picture of a place no one has ever seen before...or makes a picture that's different of a place that everybody's seen before.
