  1. Researching a photographic practitioner Adam Clarke 4th November

  2. About David Doubilet • David Doubilet is a well recognised underwater photographer, born on 28 November 1946.His work is mostly published in the National Geographic Magazine. • He started taking photos underwater at the age of 12, he did this by placing a Brownie Hawkeye in a rubber anesthesiologist’s bag to keep the water from destroying the camera. Later in his life he worked as a diver and photographer for the Sandy Hook Marin Laboratories in New Jersey. • While he was a dive instructor in the Bahamas he found motivation to capture the beauty of the sea and everything in it. • His goal as a photographer is to redefine photographic boundaries every time he enters the water by capturing all the underwater wildlife. • Doubilet’s ingenuity lead him to invent the split lens camera, this allows him to take photos above and below water at the same time. It works by having a separate focus point on the top half and bottom half of the scene. • Dubilet has over sixty stories for the National Geographic and published many books on his own. He has also received many awards for his work.

  3. Genre • There are many different genres of photography nowadays such as: • Fashion • Landscape Photography • Film Stills Photography • Art Photograph • Music Photography • Sport Photography • Research Photography • Press Photography (Documentary) • Portraiture • Paparazzi • Nature Photography • Industrial Photography • Advertising Photography • Forensic Photography • Scientific Photography • War Photography • David Doubilet specialises in underwater landscapes and sealife.

  4. Examples

  5. What I like about their work • I like David Doubilet’s photos because I like the unusual landscapes that would not be able to be seen without his photography. It allows me to see something new that i wouldn't be able to see otherwise. • I also like how he captures sealife doing things that you wouldn’t think they would do together. (swimming together)

  6. Another thing i like about his work is his invention the split lens, because it allows you to take pictures in and out of water at the same time capturing two different perspectives that can make the image better. An example of this is the picture to the right.
