French-Australian underwater photographer Nicolas Remy, who is now based in Sydney, will be taking to the Photo Stage at the GO Diving Show ANZ in September.
Nicolas’ images have received over 40 international awards, including category winners in the prestigious Ocean Photography Awards, Ocean Art, DPG Masters, Ocean Geographic Pictures of The Year and World Nature Photography Awards.
His photographs have been featured in mainstream media such as the BBC, CNN, Forbes, as well as top dive media and photography media.
He is the founder of The Underwater Club, an online photography school and community, that currently counts members in 12 countries. Club Members have access to self-paced courses, support forums, and monthly webinars, where Nicolas and other renowned photographers teach photography Masterclasses.
Driven by his passion for teaching photography, Nicolas is a seasoned public speaker. Besides the monthly webinars for The Underwater Club, he is regularly invited to speak in dive shows, underwater photography societies and scuba clubs.
An accomplished photo-journalist, Nicolas has authored dozens of articles published in international dive media. He is a Field Editor for DivePhotoGuide.com, and a regular contributor of Plongez! Magazine (France) and Scuba Diver Magazine (UK and Australia/New Zealand), where he writes about marine life, travel, photographic technique and equipment.
Nicolas collaborates with diving equipment and photography brands for product testing and field-reviews. He is known for the detailed, insightful write-ups which he has authored, working with brands like Nauticam, Mares, Nikon Australia and Retra UWT, to name a few.
Nicolas is a Nauticam ambassador. He currently shoots with a Nikon Z9 in a Nauticam NA-Z9 housing and his favorite optics are the Nauticam EMWL system and the Nauticam FCP-1, though he also uses the WWL-C when size and weight are of the essence.
Rebreathers form another essential part of Nicolas’ dive kit: he has spent over 1,300 hours taking photos while diving either a rEvo CCR or Mares Horizon SCR, staying down for three to four hour long dives. Nicolas is passionate about these machines, which he sees taking a growing space in the diving industry.
