David Doubilet
Underwater photographer
Born in New York in 1946, David Doubilet is primarily known for his work for National Geographic since 1971. Doubilet has photographed around 75 stories for National Geographic, and was named a Contributing Photographerin-Residence in 2001.
Doubilet’s assignments have taken him all over the world – from interior Africa to remote coral reefs, and from rich temperate seas to more recent projects beneath the polar ice. Doubilet is a contributing editor for several publications and has authored 12 books, including his award-winning book Water Light Time.
Doubilet is a former recipient of the Lennart Nilsson Award for Scientific Photography and works alongside his wife Jennifer Hayes, an aquatic biologist, photographer, filmmaker and speaker. He has received numerous awards, including from the Pictures of the Year, BBC Wildlife, Communication Arts and World Press Photo. He is a member of the Academy of Achievement, is in the Scuba Diving Hall of Fame and is an Honorary Member of the Royal Photographic Society.

For 50 years, the cameras and lenses of David Doubilet have been trained on an underwater world that covers approximately 70 per cent of the earth’s surface. In 1971, he joined the National Geographic ranks, with an assignment to shoot garden eels in Israel. Since then his groundbreaking underwater work has been published in 75 National Geographic stories, as well as in 12 books.
