Big Picture: Brian Skerry Joins Minden Pictures

We are happy to announce that the esteemed marine photojournalist, Brian Skerry, has joined Minden Pictures. Since 1998 he has been a contract photographer for National Geographic Magazine, covering stories on every continent and in nearly every ocean habitat. Brian has covered a wide range of stories, from the harp seal’s struggle to survive in frozen waters to the alarming decrease in the world’s fisheries to dolphin intelligence. He has had six NGM cover stories (US) and dozens worldwide. Brian is currently at work on his 30th feature story for National Geographic Magazine.
Having started his scuba diving experience at age 15, Brian has used his camera to tell the stories of the Ocean. In his daily practice, he captures unique behaviours, both sad (entangled sharks) and heartening (belugas playing with stones).Through his work and dedication, he has been putting visuals to biologists' research so it can reach a broader audience, raise awareness, and hopefully result in change.
