Andrew Sallmon is a freelance underwater photographer specializing in images of marine life and the marine environment. His love of the sea has taken him world-wide looking for ways to capture dynamic portraits of aquatic creatures large and small. He spends much of his time diving and photographing the rich temperate waters off of California, but also travels abroad several months each year to create new images for his stock library. A Scuba Instructor since 1980, Andy picked up his first underwater camera that same year and slowly converted from underwater hunting to the challenges of underwater photography. It was the slower pace of observing and trying to approach marine life closely that helped him understand the intricacies and miracles of the ocean ecosystem. As he learned to appreciate the living sea his photographic skills also grew He is now one of a fortunate few that earn a living as an underwater photographer. His images of marine life and the ocean environment have been featured in hundreds of books, magazines, calendars, posters, catalogs, advertisements and other forms of artwork and published media. His images are also on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Smithsonian Institute. As well as shooting stock photography, Sallmon leads and teaches underwater photography dive trips and classes. Shortly after Andy’s presentation at C&F, he will be on a sand tiger shark trip out of Morehead City, N.C. and shortly thereafter off to Costa Rica and the Cocos Islands for the entire month of September!
