Bob Gould

Bob Gould is an underwater and land photographer. His true passions have been photography and music since childhood. As an avid adventurer, Bob has extensively traveled the globe and shot underwater photography in over 2,000 dives to capture extraordinary marine life. He also has photographed wildlife, cities, and artists in many formats throughout North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
