A lone man challenges nature on a day the sea displays its' great power.

Bob is one of Sydney's most highly respected photographers having worked with most major
international and home-grown talent.
He has covered such assignments as the charitable work of SurfAid International in the Mentawai
Islands; the inaugural Quicksilver International Surfing Competition in Indonesia; shot the NSW
Torch Relay wraparounds for the Sydney Olympics and covered The Great Peking to Paris Expedition,
a recreation of a madcap motoring adventure originally taken in 1907. This two-month long trip
resulted in a four-part mini-series for the ABC and a book showcasing Bob's images from the
journey.
As well as shooting for The Daily Telegraph newspaper for 30 years and a host of media and travel
publications, Bob works closely with RovingEye as chief photographer and picture editor. His vast
photojournalistic experience allows him rapidly assess the situation and to work quickly to get the
right image for the job.
Passionate about the ocean, Bob has dedicated much of his talent to the study of water and is one of
the leading photographers in this field.
