Sean specializes in underwater and research documentary photography with a focus on freshwater systems and conservation issues. He brought his photography skills to IISD-ELA as an Artist-in-Residence from August 25 to 30, 2019.
Sean credits his post-graduate training as a fisheries ecologist for his interest in photography, which has grown into a tool to communicate the science he and his colleagues produce.
I am especially interested in teaching people about the aquatic world and helping foster greater care and appreciation for life beneath the water’s surface.
