My portfolio

Martyn Guess

I am a chartered surveyor and commercial property developer, just 50 years old! and have been diving for 10 years. I started taking underwater photographs about 5 years ago with a Nikonas V and last year purchased my Fuji S2 Pro and subal housing. Since going digital I believe the standard of my photographs has improved considerably..

I am a warm water diver! and this year have dived in the Southern Red Sea aboard the MV Hurricane, Menorca and have just returned from 3 weeks in Manado and Kungkungan Bay.

When not diving or taking photographs I spend my spare time fly fishing and snow skiing.

The trip to Manado and KBR was blighted by my camera ceasing to work on the 4th day. I had to borrow what I could from other photographers until a second hand replacement S2 Pro arrived from the UK with 4 days left of my holiday.

The mantis shrimp and orange frogfish were taken in KBR with a borrowed Nikon D2 X from Shannon Conway who won this competition. We both use the same make of strobes ( Inon) so lighting was not too much of a problem and the camera is a fantastic bit of kit!! - one day!! The long nose hawk fish and two anenome fish were taken in Manado - Bunaken Island before my camera stopped working!! The wreck and Divers was taken in the Red Sea in July this year.
