Bob
Talbot's stunning photographs of marine life and his deep
commitment to its conservation have earned him
international renown. His fascination with creatures of
the sea began when he took up snorkeling on the coast of
southern California at the age of eight; by thirteen he
was a certified diver. While studying photography during
his teens, Talbot's many expeditions included trips to
the Pacific Northwest to photograph orcas and to Hawaii
to photograph humpback whales. He realized that through
his photographs he could educate people about the urgent
need to conserve animal life, and since 1979 his work has
been published in magazines such as Audubon, Go, Omni and
Natural History, as well as in numerous books and
multimedia productions. Through his work, including his
remarkable posters, Talbot displays the magic and the
wonder of his majestic subjects as they appear in their
native habitats.
