About Brett Lobwein
Brett Lobwein is a passionate and environmentally-minded photographer based in Sydney, Australia. Having grown up on the waterways of the Port Hacking River in the southern suburbs of Sydney, his love of scuba diving really took shape in the early 2000s while working in a local dive shop. By 2010, he had started to take a keen interest in underwater photography and purchased his first DSLR housing. From his first trip to swim with the humpback whales in Tonga, he was completely hooked.
His passion for photography is rivaled only by his wanderlust for exotic travel. Whether shooting Silky Sharks in Cuba’s Gardens of the Queen, Pengiuns in Antarctica, Polar Bears in the Arctic, Orcas in Norway or Seal in Narooma, Brett is always sure to represent marine life in their natural element, without demonising or sensationalising an animal to gain attention to an image for the wrong reasons.
Aligned with his love for the ocean and its inhabitants, Brett is also a strong advocate of protecting our oceans and environment by raising awareness around excessive use and demand for single-use plastics.
Brett is a proud Sony Digital Imaging Advocate, Ambassador for Isotta Underwater Housings, Member of the Explorers Club, Member of the Ocean Artist Society, and former associate/resident photographer at Ocean Geographic. Brett also is the owner of UW Images a distributor of underwater photography equipment,
His images have won numerous international photography awards and have been published worldwide.
