David Doubilet was born in New York City, NY He graduated from Boston University College of communication in 1970. His work appears in National Geographic and he has published 3 books. He is known for underwater photography. David doubilet’s style is taking photographs underwater of shipwrecks, sharks, sea turtles, other sea animals and seascapes. When David was at summer camp he was uninterested in the activities offered so a camp counselor game him a mask and told him to stick his head underwater. When he did, he was fascinated with the light underwater and the differentness of it and he could watch for hours. When he was 12 he tried taking pictures using a Brownie Hawkeye stuffed into a rubber anesthesiologist bag.

Mullet in surf, Japan. Devils Eye Spring, Florida. The lighting used natural, it is coming from the surface of the water. The main subject of this photo is the water on the surface, I know because it is the most interesting part of the photo the colors and texture make it stand out. The lighting and texture make the photo really pretty and interesting. I think this photo makes you feel relaxed, the darkness of it. I picked this photo because it is so pretty and the blues are very nice and I like the sharks in the distance. The lighting used is natural, its coming through the surface of the water. The main subject of this photo is the girl floating and the reds, I can tell because it is what your eyes go to, its what makes the photo stand out. The lighting of this photo is what makes it pop. The way its dark all around then in the middle its really bright. I picked this photo because it looks different, I like the reds and greens and the way the girl is floating makes it look unique.

Bumper Jack in Aurelia Jellyfish, Tasmania, Australia The lighting used is natural, you cant really tell where the source is. The main subject of this photo is the little fish because it is in the rule of thirds and its what your eyes go to first. There are lines leading to the fish and the lighting makes every think look very cool and pastel. I think the photographer is showing us even tiny things can be beautiful. I selected this photo because it stood out, the colors are really beautiful and the texture/design make it look unique and makes you question what the little pink squiggles are. Australian Sea Lion, Little Hopkins Island, Australia The lighting used is natural, it is coming from the surface of the water at the top of the photo. The main subject of this photo is the seals you can tell because the seal closest to you is in the rule of thirds and the other seals stand out because of the lighting. The rule of thirds and lighting make you look at the main parts of the photo. The photographer might be telling us that seals are friendly and nice creatures. I picked this photo because the colors in this photo are very pretty and the seals look cute.

Young Fisherman with Tiger shark, Mexico The lighting used in this photo is natural it is coming from the sky. The main subject of the photo is the shark and boy because its what your eyes go to. The texture of the water makes it look interesting, also the photo uses rule of thirds which makes your eyes go to the boy. I think the photographer is telling us a story. (not sure what) I choose this photo because the shark looks like he’s going to eat the boy and it overall looks super cool. Ziebels Handfish, Tasmania The lighting used in this photo is artificial it is coming from the bottom right. The main subject of this photo is the fish you can tell because it’s the center of the photo. The lighting makes the colors look super cool and the way it hits the fish makes it unique. The photo looks kind of mysterious. I choose this photo because I like the colors and the way the light hits the fish and the clearness of it.
