About Richard

Richard Condlyffe is an award-winning Underwater Photographer whose work has been recognized across the world in underwater, nature and art photography competitions.  

His images and words have also been featured in SCUBA Diving Magazine (US) and Diver Magazine (UK).  Richard is also a Camelback Art Gallery featured artist.

​

He has traveled extensively to create images from the world’s best underwater environments, with a passion for the creative process from capturing the image in his camera to seeing the finished art on a print or wall hanging.  Over the years Richard has built beautiful and comprehensive art collections of sharks, sea turtles, dolphins and other stunning marine life.  His art is only sold online and by doing this Richard is able to keep his costs extremely competitive. 

​

Richard also teaches a Shark photography class, helping other passionate photographers to get the most out of their interactions with these awesome and important creatures.  He believes that through sharing his work more and more people will recognize the need for aggressive conservation efforts to protect endangered species against illegal fishing, shark finning and ocean pollution. 

​

At the end of each year Richard donates 10% of his profits to the ocean conservation charities he believes are doing the most to make a difference for our oceans and their inhabitants.

​

Born in the UK, Richard grew up watching the amazing wildlife documentaries of the BBC and developed a fascination with the underwater world.  Becoming a SCUBA diver and Underwater Photographer was only natural!  He has lived in the US for more than 20 years, currently residing in Michigan.
