Gary Bell image

Gary Bell is the founder of Oceanwide Images Stock Photo Library and a distinguished nature and wildlife photographers, both in Australia, where he resides, and the world. His dedication and passion for capturing moments in nature has won him a string of international awards with work featured in major nature magazines, such as National Geographic, Australian Geographic, numerous books, advertising campaigns and many other publications.

Behind this brilliant photographer is a man with a deep respect for wildlife and the environment - with a passion to explore new ecosystems and capture on camera the extraordinary beauty of the natural world. Gary has travelled throughout Australia and the Indo Pacific, enjoying the challenges of nature photography (and its inherent dangers).

Where it all began?

In 1974, when Gary first started taking underwater images there were few underwater photographers in Australia. His first pictures were taken beneath Portsea pier on the Mornington Peninsula, Australia. Gary felt compelled to share these underwater discoveries with his family and friends, who were fascinated with his photography. He was soon getting requests for the purchase of iprints.

Since then Gary has travelled the world working with David Doubilet, assisting Doubilet on more than twenty National Geographic magazine field assignments. The assignments took him over the oceans of the world to the Cayman Islands, New Zealand, Aldabra Atoll, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa and the tropical and temperate seas of Australia. Gary was also individually commissioned by the National Geographic Society (magazine and TV division) to photograph the Great White Sharks in South Australia and South Africa and life on the Great Barrier Reef. He has worked with the CSIRO Division of Fisheries to record newly developed prawn netting techniques in the Gulf of Carpentaria and the marine pest species of southern Australia.

Gary's awards include the Australasia Underwater Photographer of the Year which he received in 1990, 1991, and 1992 (He is the only person to have won this award for three consecutive years)

One of Gary's favorite places to dive and take pictures is the Great Barrier Reef and has amass one of the largest collections of GBR images in the world. We asked why the fascination for this Aussie icon:

“I just love the fact that you could dive the Great Barrier Reef for a life time and still not scratch the surface. The reef is enormous - it is our planets largest natural ecosystem, covering an area of 345,400 square kilometres and stretching a distance of 2300 kilometres. It's the natural beauty and diversity of this reef system that attracts my attention.”

Gary's published coffee table books include: The Great Barrier Reef - by Murdoch Books/BBC earth and The Great Barrier Reef - published by Steve Parish Publishing.

The journey continues...

Gary continues to share his images with the world through his company Oceanwide Images in conjunction with a comprehensive collection of stunning wildlife images hand-picked from some of the worlds best natural history photographers. Images are licensed to publishers and commercial entities throughout the world. Fine Art Prints are also available to the general public from any image listed on the website.

Just as in 1974 when Gary shared his first underwater pictures with his family and friends he continues to bring beautiful nature and wildlife images to the world.

When asked to choose a favourite from his huge collection, Gary’s answer is definitive - “ The picture of my two children, Leah and Adam and my wonderful wife, Meri”
