Alex Kirkbride began his underwater career as a divemaster at Rum Cay and San Salvador in the Bahamas. Then he moved to New York City and became a photographic assistant for five years, before he started his own business, specialising in underwater, travel and adventure.

Today Alex is an award-winning photographer with 30 years’ diving experience. Magazine assignments have taken him to remote locations such as the Canadian High Arctic and the Rio Negro in the Amazon rainforest. His work has been exhibited in England, Italy, China and the United States, and published worldwide in the most respected photographic journals, including National Geographic.

Alex’s critically acclaimed book, American Waters, took five years to produce and features images from all 50 states in the USA. In the foreword, Jean-Michel Cousteau wrote, “Alex has pushed us to appreciate all water on Earth…and dares us to think outside categories, labels or convention. He has re-invented the medium and we thank him for that.”

Alex sells limited edition fine art prints on his website (alexkirkbride.com), lectures around the world, and is working on a variety of book projects.
