Richard Robinson
Richard is an underwater photojournalist based in New Zealand. Following in his grandfather's footsteps he started out as a press photographer in his hometown before moving to the country's largest newspaper.
Fifteen years ago, his focus shifted, and he now concentrates full time on telling environmental wildlife stories from New Zealand and across the South Pacific.
He is a Resident Photographer for New Zealand Geographic and often works closely with scientists to document animal behaviours rarely seen.
