About me
About me
Gabe Hearnshaw is a distinguished nature and conservation photographer with a specific affinity for the vast expanses of our oceans. A firm believer in the transformative power of the natural world, Gabe has dedicated the last few years to the exploration and preservation of our marine environments.
He is a seasoned photographer, a proficient free diver, a PADI-certified scuba diver, and a newly trained snorkelling instructor. Inspired by Ocean Ambassador Cal Major’s SUP adventures, Gabe has recently ventured into the realm of paddleboarding, further enhancing his relationship with the world’s waterways.
Gabe’s passion transcends the boundaries of exploration and conservation; he is also deeply committed to supporting individuals in their mental health journey. His past role as an on-call firefighter, where he served as a TRiM practitioner, has given him firsthand insight into the importance of mental well-being. Now, he uses his experiences as an Ambassador for Seaful Charity, using his mesmerising underwater photography as a therapeutic tool for managing his mental health and as a way for others to establish a deep connection with water.
