Early life and education

Skerry was born in Milford, Massachusetts in 1961, and grew up in Uxbridge. [1] Skerry began SCUBA diving in 1977, at 15 years old and received his first SCUBA certification in 1978. He has stated that he was drawn to the water from a very young age and was always fascinated by ocean documentaries, along with the movies Jaws (1975) and The Deep (1977) [2]

After studying at Quinsigamond Community College, where he earned an associate degree in Liberal Arts, [3] he went on to Worcester State College earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications Media in 1984. [4]

In 1998 Skerry received his first assignment for National Geographic. In a 2021 article in The Maine Magazine, Skerry recalls Bill Curtsinger, one of the first underwater photographers, turning down a National Geographic magazine photo shoot of the 1717 pirate shipwreck Whydah Gally, buried in the sand off Cape Cod. Curtsinger turned down the job due to a scheduling conflict but put in a good word for Skerry, who in turn, took the story assignment. [11] Skerry had his photos published in the May 1999 edition of National Geographic. [12]

Skerry has been credited with more than 30 stories for National Geographic, [13] including seven on the front cover of the magazine. a The subjects of his stories have included species such as harp seals, [14] squid, [15] right whales, [16] Leatherback sea turtles, [17] bluefin tuna, [18] dolphins [19] and coral reefs. [20] Other stories have featured locations such as the Southern Line Islands, [21] Ireland, [22] Marine reserves of New Zealand, [23] the Phoenix Islands, [24] Japan, [25] the Mesoamerican Reef, [26] and in his home state, the Gulf of Maine. [11]

[27] [28] [29] While on assignment for National Geographic on September 1, 2016, he photographed U.S. President Barack Obama snorkeling in the waters off Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, which lies within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. [30] It was the first photograph ever taken of a President of the United States underwater. [31]

Awards and recognition

At the end of five hours in the cold water... I had this one chance and one frame and that one instant. I was ready. It came down to one second. That is the beauty of photography. It's a moment in time and it vanishes like a ghost but if you have a photo, you have it forever.

— Skerry, Brian [51]

National Geographic is an American monthly magazine published by National Geographic Partners. The magazine was founded in 1888 as a scholarly journal, nine months after the establishment of the society, but is now a popular magazine. In 1905, it began including pictures, a style for which it became well-known. Its first color photos appeared in the 1910s. During the Cold War, the magazine committed itself to present a balanced view of the physical and human geography of countries beyond the Iron Curtain. Later, the magazine became outspoken on environmental issues.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">SOFAR channel</span> Horizontal layer of water in the ocean at which depth the speed of sound is at its minimum

The SOFAR channel, or deep sound channel (DSC), is a horizontal layer of water in the ocean at which depth the speed of sound is at its minimum. The SOFAR channel acts as a waveguide for sound, and low frequency sound waves within the channel may travel thousands of miles before dissipating. An example was reception of coded signals generated by the Navy chartered ocean surveillance vessel Cory Chouest off Heard Island, located in the southern Indian Ocean, by hydrophones in portions of all five major ocean basins and as distant as the North Atlantic and North Pacific.
