G2 Gallery & Brian Skerry, Ocean Wild May 10, 2011 - June 19, 2011

Brian Skerry is a photojournalist specializing in underwater photography, working to reveal the ocean’s beauty while bringing attention to issues that endanger marine species and habitats. Brian fell in love with the ocean at a young age and received his diving certificate when he was 16 years old. In 1998, he became a contracted photographer with National Geographic Magazine and spends 8 months each year in the field traveling to some of the most extreme environments in the world. Photographing anywhere from tropical seas to icy waters, Brian Skerry has lived at the bottom of the ocean, spent months aboard fishing boats and has commuted to work in anything from snowmobiles and helicopters to reach his subjects. In 2010, his hard work earned two of his images the title of top 40 nature photographs of all time.
