From the reefs of Byron Bay to the icy waters of Antarctica, Ocean Photographer of the Year Craig Parry has spent his life chasing moments most of us never see.
In this episode, Clyde sits down with Craig, fresh from being awarded Ocean Photographer of the Year at the National Maritime Museum, to dive into the world of underwater, seascape, and aerial photography. From early DIY drones and flooded cameras to shooting with Nat Geo, BBC, and Chris Hemsworth, they explore the realities of making a career in natural-history storytelling, balancing family with travel, and using photography as a tool for education and conservation.
