Talk – The Marine Wildlife off Portland

From local wildlife photographer Sandra Stalker.

Sandra is an award winning underwater photographer living and diving on the wonderful Dorset coast. She has been diving for over 24 years, having learned to dive in very poor visibility in Portland harbour in a stormy September. She was inspired by tropical underwater imagery in books and films.

After seeing her first fish on her third dive she realised there was life within our waters. She’s gone on to promote the wonderful array of often overlooked colourful marine life that the Dorset shores have to offer through her photography. 

Sandra enjoys the challenges of finding interesting new ways to portray and photograph the local underwater life. She’s has been awarded in Underwater Photographer of the Year and a finalist in Close up photographer of the year, Wildlife photographer of the year, British Wildlife Photography awards and the European wildlife photography awards.

This year she was awarded Most promising British underwater Photographer in underwater photographer of the year.

This talk is about the marine wildlife off the Dorset coast and will be illustrated with Sandra’s photographs.

There’s no charge for this talk and it’s open to both members and non-members. Donations to the work of Weymouth Civic Society are welcome.

Refreshments available from 6.30pm and the talk is at 7pm.
